¹⁸ This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;

³ Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

⁷ I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
