2 Timotius 1:6-7

1:6 Because of this I remind you to rekindle God’s gift that you possess ¹  through the laying on of my hands. 1:7 For God did not give us a Spirit ²  of fear but of power and love and self-control.

[1:6]  ¹ tn Grk “that is in you.”

[1:7]  ² tn Or “a spirit,” denoting the human personality under the Spirit’s influence as in 1 Cor 4:21; Gal 6:1; 1 Pet 3:4. But the reference to the Holy Spirit at the end of this section (1:14) makes it likely that it begins this way also, so that the Holy Spirit is the referent.
