Therefore I remind you that you stir up the gift of God, which is in you by the laying on of my hands.
All Commentaries on 2 Timothy 1:6 Go To 2 Timothy 1
John Chrysostom
AD 407
For it requires much zeal to stir up the gift of God. As fire requires fuel, so grace requires our alacrity, that it may be ever fervent…. For it is in our power to kindle or extinguish this grace…. For by sloth and carelessness it is quenched, and by watchfulness and diligence it is kept alive. For it is in you indeed, but you must render it more vehement, that is, fill it with confidence, with joy and delight. Stand manfully.
