2Ti 1:6

1:6 {2} Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou {c} stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

2Ti 1:9

1:9 {4} Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was {h} given us in Christ Jesus {i} before the world began,

2Ti 1:10

1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to {k} light through the gospel:

2Ti 1:11

1:11 {5} Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

2Ti 1:12

1:12 {6} For the which cause I also suffer these things: {7} nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

2Ti 1:13

1:13 {8} Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

2Ti 2:11

2:11 {8} [It is] a faithful saying: For if we be {c} dead with [him], we shall also live with [him]:
