"longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;"
— 2 Timothy 1:4, World English Bible
“Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;”
“longing to see thee, remembering thy 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 Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.
For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
