“Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;”
“longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;”
“As I remember your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy.”
“Desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy:”
“Desiring to see you, keeping in my memory your weeping, so that I may be full of joy;”
“Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;”
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers in a pure conscience, how unceasing is my remembrance of thee in my supplications, night and day
longing to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in thee also.
For which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee through the laying on of my hands.
For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.
