2 Timothy 1:2
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,
To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as did my forefathers, as I constantly remember you night and day in my prayers.
4 Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
