2 Timothy 1:3

Thanksgiving and Charge to Timothy

1:3 I am thankful to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience as my ancestors did, ¹  when I remember you in my prayers as I do constantly night and day. ² 

2 Timothy 4:3

4:3 For there will be a time when people ³  will not tolerate sound teaching. Instead, following their own desires, ⁴  they will accumulate teachers for themselves, because they have an insatiable curiosity to hear new things. ⁵ 

2 Timothy 4:8

4:8 Finally the crown of righteousness is reserved for me. The Lord, the righteous Judge, will award it to me in that day – and not to me only, but also to all who have set their affection on ⁶  his appearing.
