having a remembrance of the unfeigned faith in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that [it dwells] also in you.

For which cause I admonish you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the imposition of my hands.

of which I was made a herald, and an apostle, and a teacher of the nations;

for which cause I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed; for I know in whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep my trust to that day.

Retain the form of sound words which you heard from me in faith and the love in Christ Jesus.

Guard the good trust, through the Holy Spirit which dwells in us.

in which I suffer even to chains as an evil doer; but the word of God is not bound.

persecutions, sufferings, which befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; the great persecutions which I suffered, and the Lord delivered me from all.

and that from a child you have known the sacred Scriptures, which can make you wise to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge will give me in that day, and not me only but all who love his appearing.

The cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, when you come, bring, and the books, especially the parchments.
