2 Timóteo 1

6 That is why I remind you to *1:6 In ancient times embers were kept slowly burning so that they could be fanned into flames when a fire was needed.fan into flame the gracious gift of God, [that inner fire—the special endowment] which is in you through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].
