Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to preach the promise of life, which life is in Christ Jesus.

To Timothy, his beloved son. Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the father, and from Jesus Christ our Lord.

which saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our deeds, but according to his own purpose and grace, which grace was given us through Christ Jesus before the world was,

but is now declared openly by the appearing of our saviour Jesus Christ, which hath put away death, and hath brought life and immortality unto light through the gospel,

See thou have the example of the wholesome words which thou heardest of me, in faith and love which is in Jesus Christ.

Thou, therefore, my son be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Thou therefore suffer affliction as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Remember that Jesus Christ, being of the seed of David, rose again from death according to my gospel,

Herefore I suffer all things, for the elects' sakes, that they might also obtain that salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, must suffer persecutions.

And forasmuch also as thou hast known holy scripture of a child, which is able to make thee wise unto salvation through the faith, which is in Christ Jesus.

I testify therefore before God, and before the Lord Jesus Christ, which shall judge quick and dead at his appearing in his kingdom:

The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. {The end of the Second Epistle unto Timothy, Written from Rome, when Paul was presented the second time up before the Emperor Nero}
