Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the commandment of life which is in Christ Jesus,

having received the remembrance of the unhypocritical faith which is in you; which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded that it is in you also.

On account of which cause I remind you to revive and refire the gift of God which is in you by the laying on of my hands.

the one having saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the eternal times,

unto which I have been placed a herald, and an apostle, and teacher:

on account of which cause I indeed suffer these things: but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to stand guard over that which is committed unto me unto that day.

Hold fast the form of sound words which you heard with me, in the faith and divine love which is in Christ Jesus:

Therefore, my child, be thou filled up with dynamite in the grace which is in Christ Jesus,

On account of this I endure all things for the sake of the elect, in order that they may also have the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

In the manner in which Jannes and Jambres also resisted Moses, so these indeed resist the truth; men who are corrupt as to their mind, reprobate concerning the faith.

But abide thou in those things which thou hast learned and in which thou hast been instructed, knowing from whom thou hast learned;

and that from an infant thou hast known the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

All scripture is God-breathed and profitable unto teaching, unto conviction, unto correction, unto instruction which is in righteousness:

finally there is a crown of righteousness laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me in that day: not only to me, but to all those who with divine love, do love his appearing.

Coming, bring the cloak, which I left in Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.
