I thank God, whom I serve from mine elders with pure conscience, that without ceasing I make mention of thee in my prayers night and day,

Wherefore I warn thee that thou stir up the gift of God which is in thee, by the putting on of my hands.

Be not ashamed to testify our Lord, neither be ashamed of me, which am bound for his sake: but suffer adversity with the gospel also through the power of God,

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

This thou knowest, how that all they which are in Asia be turned from me; Of which sort are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

but when he was at Rome he sought me out very diligently, and found me.

The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy with the Lord at that day. And in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus thou knowest very well.

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

And what things thou hast heard of me, many bearing witness, the same deliver to faithful men, which are apt to teach others.

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

that they may come to themselves again out of the snare of the devil, which are now taken of him at his will.

But thou hast seen the experience of my doctrine, fashion of living, purpose, faith, long suffering, love, patience,

persecutions, and afflictions which happened unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra: which persecutions I suffered patiently; And from them all the Lord delivered me.

that the man of God may be perfect, and prepared unto all good works.

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

I have fought a good fight, and have fulfilled my course, and have kept the faith.

From henceforth is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord that is a righteous judge shall give me at that day: not to me only: but unto all them that love his coming.

Make speed to come unto me at once.

For Demas hath left me, and hath loved this present world, and is departed into Thessalonica. Crescens is gone to Galatia, and Titus unto Dalmatia.

Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with thee, for he is necessary unto me for to minister.

Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil, the Lord reward him according to his deeds,

At my first answering for myself, no man assisted me, but all forsook me. I pray God, that it may not be laid to their charges:

notwithstanding the Lord assisted me, and strengthed me, that by me the preaching should be fulfilled to the utmost and that all the gentiles should hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

And the Lord shall deliver me from all evil doing, and shall keep me unto his heavenly kingdom. To whom be praise for ever and ever. Amen.
