I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;

When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

To which I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

For which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him against that day.

This thou knowest, that all they who are in Asia are turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus;

But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing from whom thou hast learned them;

For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

Of whom be thou aware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.

And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me to his heavenly kingdom; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
