2 Timothy 1:6

1:6 Because of this I remind you to rekindle God’s gift that you possess ¹  through the laying on of my hands.

2 Timothy 1:12

1:12 Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do. ²  But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set ³  and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me ⁴  until that day. ⁵ 

[1:6]  ¹ tn Grk “that is in you.”

[1:12]  ² tn Grk “suffer these things.”

[1:12]  ³ tn Or “in whom I have believed.”

[1:12]  ⁴ sn What has been entrusted to me (Grk “my entrustment,” meaning either (1) “what I have entrusted to him” [his life, destiny, etc.] or (2) “what he has entrusted to me” [the truth of the gospel]). The parallel with v. 14 and use of similar words in the pastorals (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 2:2) argue for the latter sense.

[1:12]  ⁵ sn That day is a reference to the day when Paul would stand before Christ to give account for his service (cf. 2 Tim 1:18; 1 Cor 3:13; 2 Cor 5:9-10).
