Jesus

Whereunto also he hath called you by our gospel, unto the purchasing of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast: and hold the traditions, which you have learned, whether by word or by our epistle.

Exhort your hearts and confirm you in every good work and word.

For the rest, brethren, pray for us that the word of God may run and may be glorified, even as among you:

But God is faithful, who will strengthen and keep you from evil.

And we have confidence concerning you in the Lord that the things which we command, you both do and will do.

And the Lord direct your hearts, in the charity of God and the patience of Christ.

And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the tradition which they have received of us.

Now we charge them that are such and beseech them by the Lord Jesus Christ that, working with silence, they would eat their own bread.

Now the Lord of peace himself give you everlasting peace in every place. The Lord be with you all.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the commandment of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope:

To Timothy, his beloved son in faith. Grace, mercy and peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

I give him thanks who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry:

Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded exceedingly with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.

A faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief.

But for this cause have I obtained mercy: that in me first Christ Jesus might shew forth all patience, for the information of them that shall believe in him unto life everlasting.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,

For there is one God: and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus:

Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times.

Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle (I say the truth, I lie not), a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

For they that have ministered well shall purchase to themselves a good degree and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

These things proposing to the brethren, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished up in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which thou hast attained unto.

For therefore we labour and are reviled, because we hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.

But the younger widows avoid. For when they have grown wanton in Christ, they will marry:
