Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life in Christ Jesus,

Because of which reason I remind thee to rekindle the gift of God that is in thee through the laying on of my hands.

But which has now been manifested by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who indeed abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the good-news,

Guard the good consignment through the Holy Spirit that dwells in us.

And what thou have heard from me through many witnesses, these things commit thou to faithful men who will be competent to teach others also.

And that from a babe thou have known the sacred writings, which are able to make thee wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the sacred message might be brought to fullness, and all the Gentiles might hear. And I was rescued out of the mouth of the lion.
