3. I am thankful to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience as my ancestors did, when I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day,
4. longing to see you as I remember your tears, so that I may be filled with joy,
5. remembering the sincere faith in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am convinced that is in you also,
6. for which reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is in you through the laying on of my hands.
