Exhortation to Courage and Sound Doctrine

6

For which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee through the laying on of my hands.

7

For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.

8

Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with the gospel according to the power of God;

9

who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

10

but hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

11

whereunto I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher.

12

For which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed unto him against that day.

13

Hold the pattern of sound words which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

14

That good thing which was committed unto thee guard through the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us.
