Paul’s second letter to Timothy is a personal letter to Timothy, which begins by Paul reflecting on Timothy’s sincere faith. Timothy’s mother, Eunice, and his grandmother, Lois, had taught Timothy from a very young age about what faith is all about. Paul sees evidence of this faith in Timothy and is overjoyed that he is displaying in his life what he was taught.
"But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me"
