And the things which thou hast heard of me before many witnesses, these commit to faithful men, who shall be qualified to teach others also.

It is a faithful saying: for if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

if we suffer with him, we shall also reign with him: if we renounce him, he also will renounce us:

If therefore a man preserve himself pure from these things, he shall be a vessel for honour, sanctified and highly useful to the master, ready for every good work.

But they shall not proceed to the uttermost; for their infatuation shall be evident to all men, as theirs also was.

I ADJURE thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day: yet not to me only, but also to all who have loved his appearing.
