2 Tim 2:1(NKJV)
Be Strong in Grace
2 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 Tim 2:1-2,7-8(TPT)
Grace to Overcome
2 Timothy, my dear son,[a] live your life empowered by God’s free-flowing grace, which is your true strength, found in the anointing of Jesus and your union with him!
2 And all that you’ve learned from me, confirmed by the integrity of my life,[b] deposit into faithful leaders who are competent to teach the congregations the same revelation.
7 Carefully consider all that I’ve taught you, and may our Lord inspire you with wisdom and revelation in everything you say and do.
8 But make Jesus, the Anointed One, your focus in life and ministry. For he came to earth as the descendant of David and rose from the dead, according to the revelation of the gospel that God has given me.
1 Cor 15:9-10(NKJV)
9 For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
1 Cor 15:8-11(TPT)
8 Last of all he appeared in front of me, like one born prematurely, ripped from the womb.[g]
9 Yes, I am the most insignificant of all the apostles, unworthy even to be called an apostle, because I hunted down believers and persecuted God’s church.
10 But God’s amazing grace has made me who I am![h] And his grace to me was not fruitless. In fact, I worked harder than all the rest,[i] yet not in my own strength but God’s, for his empowering grace is poured out upon me.
11 So this is what we all have taught you, and whether it was through me or someone else, you have now believed the gospel.
Romans 5:1-2(NKJV)
5 Therefore, having been justified by faith, [a]we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Eph 2:1-10(NKJV)
2 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the [a]course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
