To Timothy, dearly beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and christ Jesus our Lord.

And truly from the truth will they turn away the hearing, and be turned aside to fictions.

And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and save for his heavenly kingdom: to whom the glory for the times of times. Amen.
