From Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, and from Timothy, our Brother.

If only you remain true to your Faith, firm and immovable, never abandoning the hope held out in the Good News to which you listened, which has been proclaimed among all created things under Heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

I, Paul, add this greeting in my own handwriting. Remember these chains of mine. God's blessing be with you.
