Have fought

Fight the good fight for the faith. Keep holding on to eternal life, to which you were called and about which you gave a good testimony in front of many witnesses.

I have finished

Jesus told them, "My food is doing the will of the one who sent me and completing his work.

When John was finishing his work, he said, "Who do you think I am? I'm not the Messiah. No, but he is coming after me, and I'm not worthy to untie the sandals on his feet.'

But I don't place any value on my life, if only I can finish my race and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.

I have kept

With the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us, protect the good treasure that has been entrusted to you.

I have made your name known to these men whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the pointless discussions and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge.

"I know what you've been doing. Look! I have put in front of you an open door that no one can shut. You have only a little strength, but you have obeyed my word and have not denied my name.
