{I am thankful} to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience {as my ancestors did}, when {I remember you constantly} in my prayers night and day,

longing to see you [as I] remember your tears, so that I may be filled with joy,

Suffer together with [me] as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

No one who serves as a soldier is entangled in the activities of [everyday] life, so that he may please the one who enlisted [him].

in connection with which I suffer misfortune to the point of {imprisonment} as a criminal, but the word of God is not bound.

And {just as} Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these oppose the truth, people corrupted in mind, disqualified concerning the faith.

But they will not progress to a greater extent, for their folly will be quite evident to everyone, as also the [folly] of those [two] was.

For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is imminent.
