2 Tim. 1:3 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
2 Tim. 1:2      2 Tim. 1:4

Second letter to Timothy 1:3

[Verses 3-5 are symmetrically structured in a form called chiasmus. This means that the theme in the first line is related to the theme in the last line, the theme in the second line to the penultimate line, and so on. In a chiasmus, words and phrases often recur. Paul writes about his ancestors in verse 3, which is related to Timothy's mother and grandmother in verse 5, the word "remember" in verse 3 is related to "reminded" in verse 5, etc. Central to verse 4 is the climax and the main point: the longing to see Timothy! To visualize the chiasm, the text is indented in different steps.]
I [Paul] feel such gratitude to God,
whom I, like my ancestors, serve (worship, do holy service before) with a clear conscience,
when I remember (constantly think of) you [Timothy] in my prayers,
both night and day.
