Thanksgiving and Charge to Timothy I am thankful to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience as my ancestors did, when I remember you in my prayers as I do constantly night and day.
As I remember your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy.
I recall your sincere faith that was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am sure is in you.
