TSK · 2 Timothy 1:5

A prayer of David. LORD, consider my just cause! Pay attention to my cry for help! Listen to the prayer I sincerely offer!

I have been dependent on you since birth; from the time I came out of my mother’s womb you have been my God.

I said,“During the night I will remember the song I once sang; I will think very carefully.” I tried to make sense of what was happening.

Turn toward me and have mercy on me! Give your servant your strength! Deliver this son of your female servant!

In spite of all this, Israel’s sister, unfaithful Judah, has not turned back to me with any sincerity; she has only pretended to do so,” says the LORD.

Timothy Joins Paul and Silas He also came to Derbe and to Lystra. A disciple named Timothy was there, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but whose father was a Greek.

He was fully convinced that what God promised he was also able to do.

One person regards one day holier than other days, and another regards them all alike. Each must be fully convinced in his own mind.

Paul’s Motivation for Writing the Letter But I myself am fully convinced about you, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct one another.

But the aim of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.

Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me until that day.

But in your case, dear friends, even though we speak like this, we are convinced of better things relating to salvation.

You have purified your souls by obeying the truth in order to show sincere mutual love. So love one another earnestly from a pure heart.
