2 Timothy 1 

9 For God saved us 

and called us 

to live a holy life. 

He did this, 

not because we deserved it, 

but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time;

to show us his grace through Christ Jesus. 

10 And now he has made all of this plain to us 

by the appearing of Christ Jesus, our Savior. 

He broke the power of death 

and illuminated the way to life 

and immortality 

through the Good News. 

13 Hold on to the pattern of wholesome teaching you learned from me;

a pattern shaped by the faith and love 

that you have in Christ Jesus. 

14 Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, 

carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to you.
