2 Timothy 1:5-75 when I call to remembrance the genuine

faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your

grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice,

and I am persuaded is in you also. 6 Therefore

I remind you to stir up the gift of God which

is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but

of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Joshua's Generation And The Next Generation“Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the Lord,

died at the age of a hundred and ten. . .After

that whole generation had been gathered to

their fathers, another generation grew up,

who neither knew the Lord nor what he had

done for Israel.  Then the Israelites did evil in

the eyes of the Lord and served the Baals.”
