Keep the form of those true words which you had from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

You have had news that all those in Asia went away from me; among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes:

And the things which I have said to you before a number of witnesses, give to those of the faith, so that they may be teachers of others.

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

But God's strong base is unchanging, having this sign, The Lord has knowledge of those who are his: and, Let everyone by whom the name of the Lord is named be turned away from evil.

But keep yourself from those desires of the flesh which are strong when the body is young, and go after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those whose prayers go up to the Lord from a clean heart.

Gently guiding those who go against the teaching; if by chance God may give them a change of heart and true knowledge,

From now on, the crown of righteousness is made ready for me, which the Lord, the upright judge, Will give to me at that day: and not only to me, but to all those who have had love for his revelation.

Give my love to Prisca and Aquila and those of the house of Onesiphorus.
