Verse from 2 Timothy

“我记得你心里无伪的信心，这信心原先是在你外祖母罗以和你母亲友尼基心里的，我深信也在你的心里。”

‭‭提摩太后书‬ ‭1:5‬ ‭

“I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.”

‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭1:5‬ ‭

In his second letter to Timothy, Paul wrote that when he thought of Timothy, he was reminded of the “sincere faith” that lived in Timothy’s grandmother and mother.

Though Timothy’s father isn’t mentioned, Paul calls Timothy his “dear son” (v. 2). Those who don’t have families to pass down faith can still find parents and grandparents in the church—people who will help us figure out how to live a “holy life” (v. 9), and to embrace the gifts God has given us of “power, love and self-discipline” (v. 7). Truly, we all have a beautiful inheritance.
