11 But you, O (A)man of God, (B)flee from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, (C)faith, (D)love, [a]perseverance, gentleness. 12 (E)Fight the good fight of (F)faith. (G)Take hold of the eternal life (H)to which you were called, and you made the good (I)confession in the presence of (J)many witnesses. 13 (K)I charge you in the presence of God, who [b]gives life to all things, and of (L)Christ Jesus, who testified the (M)good confession (N)before Pontius Pilate, 14 that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the (O)appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which He will [c]bring about at (P)the proper time—He who is (Q)the blessed and (R)only Sovereign, (S)the King of [d]kings and (T)Lord of [e]lords, 16 (U)who alone has immortality and (V)dwells in unapproachable light, (W)whom no man has seen or can see.

11 But you, man of God,(A) flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness,(B) faith, love,(C) endurance and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight(D) of the faith.
