⁹ Wherein I labour even unto bands, as an evildoer; but the word of God is not bound.

¹⁰ Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation, which is in Christ Jesus, with heavenly glory.

⁶ For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand.

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

⁸ As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice, which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming. Make haste to come to me quickly.
