Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to preach the promise of life, which life is in Christ Jesus.

Remember Jesus Christ [the ever-living Lord who has] risen from the dead, [as the prophesied King] descended from David [king of Israel], according to my gospel [the good news that I preach],

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

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
