In Paul's opening, he greets Timothy and tells him that he remembers, prays, and longs to see him. He remembers his own ancestors and reminds Timothy about the faith of his own mother and grandmother. Ultimately, Paul is identifying with Timothy and stirring up in him a godly affection. They have both received the faith of those who came before them, and they both long for one another with tears and joy. Paul, who is now alone, knows like no other how valuable to the godly affection of Jesus' people for one another is. He is about to call Timothy to come share in suffering; he wants to first remind him how much they already share in the love of Christ and the affection of his Bride. Let us also consider how to stir one another up to love and affection. Let us cultivate a dear desire for one another!

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Unknown Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a late 14th-century Middle English alliterative romance outlining an adventure of Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table. In the tale, Sir Gawain accepts a challenge from a mysterious warrior who is completely green, from his clothes and hair to his beard and skin. The "Green Knight" offers to allow anyone to strike him with his axe if the challenger will take a return blow in a year and a day. Gawain accepts, and beheads him in one blow, only to have the Green Knight stand up, pick up his head, and remind Gawain to meet him at the appointed time. The story of Gawain's struggle to meet the appointment and his adventures along the way demonstrate the spirit of chivalry and loyalty. (Wikipedia) This 20th Century rendering is by WA Neilson. Epics and Romances of the Middle Ages by Wilhelm Wägner (1800 - 1886) LibriVox This volume contains the principal hero-lays of the six great epic cycles of the Teutonic Middle Ages: The Langobardian Legends, the Amelung and Kindred Legends; Dietrich of Bern's Adventures; the Nibelung Legends; the Hegeling Legends; and Beowulf. To them, the author has added the great mythical Carolingian cycle, which centred round the persons of Charlemagne and his heroes, and the Breton ones of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, as well as the legend of the Holy Grail. Therefore, this one book tells all of the great epic and romances of the Middle Ages in accessible language for the general public.
