⁵ I am reminded of ^(A)your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and ^(B)your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.

¹² Indeed, all who desire to ^(A)live a godly life in Christ Jesus ^(B)will be persecuted, ¹³ while ^(C)evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and ^(D)being deceived. ¹⁴ But as for you, ^(E)continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom^[a] you learned it ¹⁵ and how ^(F)from childhood you have been acquainted with ^(G)the sacred writings, ^(H)which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. ^16 (I)All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, ¹⁷ that ^(J)the man of God^[b] may be complete, ^(K)equipped ^(L)for every good work.
