2 Timothy 4:17

Final Instructions To Timothy

¹⁶ At my first meeting with my judges, no one took my part, but all went away from me. May it not be put to their account. ¹⁷ But the Lord was by my side and gave me strength; so that through me the news might be given out in full measure, and all the Gentiles might give ear: and I was taken out of the mouth of the lion. ¹⁸ The Lord will keep me safe from every evil work and will give me salvation in his kingdom in heaven: to whom be glory for ever and ever. So be it.
