stedfast is the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners -- first of whom I am;

who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;

and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,

These things I write to thee, hoping to come unto thee soon,

till I come, give heed to the reading, to the exhortation, to the teaching;

he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and word-striving, out of which doth come envy, strife, evil-speakings, evil-surmisings,

treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life age-during.
