5 I keep in mind your sincere trust in God, the same trust that your grandmother Lois and mother Eunice also had—and I know that same trust continues in you.
6 That’s why I want to remind you to revitalize God’s gracious gift to you which you received when I placed my hands on you.1:6. Paul clearly "laid his hands" on Timothy in a way to designate a special blessing. 7 God didn’t give us a spirit that makes us fearful, but a spirit of power and love and good sense.
