For which cause, I put thee in remembrance, to be stirring up God's gift of favour, which is in thee through means of the laying on of my hands;

For God hath not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and love, and correction.

Think, as to what I am speaking; for the Lord will give thee discernment in all things.

For this cause, am I enduring, all things, for the sake of the chosen, in order that, they also, may obtain, the salvation, which is in Christ Jesus along with glory age-abiding.

Faithful, the saying - for, If we have died together, we shall also live together,

If we are faithless, he, faithful, abideth, - for, deny himself, he cannot!

Of these things, be putting them in remembrance, adjuring them before God not to be waging word-battles, - useful, for nothing, occasioning a subversion of them that hearken.

But, the profane pratings, shun; for, unto more ungodliness, will they force themselves on;

But, in a great house, there are not only gold and silver vessels, but, also wooden and earthen: and, some, indeed, for honour, while, some, are for dishonour:

And they should wake up to sobriety out of, the adversary's, snare, - though they have been taken alive by him for, that one's, will.

For, of these, are they who enter into the houses, and captivate silly women, women laden with sins, led on by manifold covetings,

But they shall not force their way further, for, their folly, shall be, fully evident, unto all, - as also, that of those men, became.

For, Demas, hath forsaken me, having loved the present age, and hath journeyed unto Thessalonica; Crescens unto Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia:

Luke, alone is with me. Receiving, Mark, back, bring him with thyself, for he is very useful to me for ministering;

Of whom, be, thou also, on thy guard, for he hath greatly withstood our words.
