Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but bear thy part in the afflictions of the gospel, according to the power of God;

But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Take thy part in suffering hardship, as a brave soldier of Christ Jesus: -

And if any one takes part in an athletic contest, he gets no prize unless he obeys the rules.

But take no part in wrong and foolish talk, for those who do so will go farther into evil,

But have nothing to do with foolish and ignorant speculations [useless disputes over unedifying, stupid controversies], since you know that they produce strife and give birth to quarrels.

they may come to their senses again and escape the snare of the devil, as they are brought back to life by God to do his will.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

treacherous, reckless, and puffed up with pride; they will love pleasure more than they love God;

Burt you have followed my teaching, leadership, purpose, faith, long suffering, divine love, patience,

as well as of my persecutions, and of the sufferings which I met with at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. You know what persecutions I underwent; and yet the Lord brought me safe out of all!

But you, on your part, must continue to abide by what you have learned and been led to rely upon, because you know from whom you learned it

But you, on your part, must always keep your head cool, suffer hardship, do your work as a herald of the good news, and so fill your ministry to the brim.

I for my part am like a drink-offering which is already being poured out; and the time for my departure is now close at hand.

I have had a part in the great contest, I have run my race, I have preserved my faith.

At my first defence no one took my part, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their account.

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the sacred message might be brought to fullness, and all the Gentiles might hear. And I was rescued out of the mouth of the lion.
