Encouragement for Timothy

I thank God as I always ·mention [remember] you in my prayers, day and night. I serve him, ·doing what I know is right [with a clear conscience] as my ancestors did. Remembering your tears [C probably at Paul’s departure], I ·want very much [long] to see you so I can be filled with joy. I remember your ·true [sincere] faith. That faith first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I ·know [am sure/persuaded] you now have that same faith.
