thou hast known this, that they did turn from me -- all those in Asia, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes;

These things remind them of, testifying fully before the Lord -- not to strive about words to nothing profitable, but to the subversion of those hearing;

sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, 'The Lord hath known those who are His,' and 'Let him depart from unrighteousness -- every one who is naming the name of Christ.'

and the youthful lusts flee thou, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling upon the Lord out of a pure heart;

in meekness instructing those opposing -- if perhaps God may give to them repentance to an acknowledging of the truth,

without natural affection, implacable, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, not lovers of those who are good,

for of these there are those coming into the houses and leading captive the silly women, laden with sins, led away with desires manifold,

henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of the righteousness that the Lord -- the Righteous Judge -- shall give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving his manifestation.
