The verse before, 2 Timothy 1:6, is equally as important, but overlooked

For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

Yes...we have been GIVEN a gift.
It is our responsibility to exercise that gift, fan the flames of that gift.
Otherwise, the gift lays dormant and just smokes or smolders, no matter how often we quote the verse.

That is a lovely quote, so encouraging. Tell me about “laying on of hands” — does that refer to Paul laying hands on the person he is addressing, Timothy, making his a bishop?

Absolutely correct. Hopefully the vs would peak someone’s interest leading them open the Bible.
