3 I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night
and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. 4 Recalling your tears, I long to
see you, so that I may be filled with joy. 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.
Appeal for Loyalty to Paul and the Gospel
