For God hath not given us a spirit of fear; but of courage, and of love, and of sobriety.

who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before time had a beginning;

but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and brought to light life and immortality by the gospel:

No man who enters the army involves himself with secular affairs; that he may please the person who hath enlisted him.

who with respect to the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection hath been already; and pervert the faith of some.

for Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is gone unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; Titus to Dalmatia.

against whom be thou also on thy guard, for he hath greatly resisted our words.

Erastus hath abode at Corinth: but Trophimus I left behind me at Miletum sick.
