Therefore be not thou ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel, according to the power of God, Who hath saved and called us with an holy calling,

Hold fast the pattern of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

This thou knowest, that all who are in Asia are turned away from me, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

The Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord in that day: And in how many things he served me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

Thou therefore, my son, be strong through the grace which is by Jesus Christ.

And the things which thou hast heard from me before many witnesses, these commit to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.

Thou therefore endure affliction, is a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, intention, faith, long-suffering, love, patience,

But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned, and been fully assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them,

And that from an infant thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, thro' faith which is in Christ Jesus.

But watch thou in all things, endure affliction, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry.

When thou comest, bring the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.

Of whom be thou also aware; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
