Thanksgiving and Charge to Timothy
3 I am thankful to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience as my ancestors did,[a] when I remember you in my prayers as I do constantly night and day.[b] 4 As I remember your tears, I long to see you,[c] so that I may be filled with joy. 5 I recall[d] your sincere faith[e] that was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am sure[f] is in you.
