Desiring earnestly to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

Receiving the report of unfeigned faith in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

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

The Lord Jesus Christ with thy Spirit. Grace with you. Amen.
