Hold the pattern of sound words, which thou heardest from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus;

Thou knowest this, that all those in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that day: and what services he rendered me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus;

and the things which thou didst hear from me before many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, such as will be able to teach others also.

But thou art well acquainted with my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,

But do thou continue in the things which thou didst learn and wast assured of, knowing from what teachers thou didst learn them,

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

But be thou watchful in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fully accomplish thy ministry.

The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest bring with thee, and the books, especially the parchments.

of whom do thou also beware; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
