Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

to Timothy my beloved son, grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose, and grace bestowed upon us through Christ Jesus, before the world was,

but now made manifest by the appearance of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light by the gospel: for which I was appointed an herald,

Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus:

Do thou therefore endure hardship, as becomes a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Remember Jesus Christ of the seed of David, who was raised from the dead, according to my gospel:

Therefore I submit to every thing for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is by Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

And indeed all, that are desirous to live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.

and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus: for all scripture is by inspiration from God,

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing, in his kingdom;

The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you all. Amen.
