For which cause I remind thee that thou fan into a flame the divine gift, which is in thee by the imposition of my hands.

Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer affliction with me in the gospel, supported by the power of God;

Model thy teaching according to the pattern of the sound discourses, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Knowest thou this, that all those of Asia have deserted me? among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

The Lord grant that he may find mercy with the Lord in the great day; and how liberally he ministered to me at Ephesus, thou knowest better than any other person.

THOU therefore, my son, be mighty in the grace which is in Jesus Christ.

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.

Thou therefore endure hardships, as a brave soldier of Jesus Christ.

But thou hast fully known my doctrine, conduct, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, patience,

But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and believed, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

and that from a child thou hast known the sacred writings, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Jesus Christ.

But watch thou in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully discharge thy ministry.

The cloke which I left behind me at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest bring, and the books, especially the parchments.

against whom be thou also on thy guard, for he hath greatly resisted our words.
