Therefore shouldest thou not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his imprisoned: but partake of afflictions with the good news according to the power of God;

Hold the model of sound words, which thou didst hear of me, in the faith and love which in Christ Jesus.

Thou knowest this, that all they dwelling in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

(May, the Lord give to him to find mercy of the Lord in that day:) and in how many things he served in Ephesus, thou knowest better.

Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus.

And what thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, these things lay by for faithful men, who will be sufficient to teach others also.

Thou therefore suffer ill treatment, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

And thou hast closely followed my doctrine, mode of life, purpose, faith, long suffering, love, patience,

And remain thou in what things thou bast learned and hast been convinced of, knowing of whom thou hast learned;

And that from infancy thou hast known the holy letters, able to render thee wise to salvation by faith which in Christ Jesus.

And thou be sober in all things, suffer ill treatment, do the work of the bearer of good news, render thy service perfectly certain.

Whom watch thou also; for he greatly withstood our words.
