¹¹ And of this gospel^(A) I was appointed^(B) a herald and an apostle and a teacher.^{(C) 12} That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame,^(D) because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard^(E) what I have entrusted to him until that day.^(F)

¹³ What you heard from me,^(G) keep^(H) as the pattern^(I) of sound teaching,^(J) with faith and love in Christ Jesus.^{(K) 14} Guard^(L) the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.^(M)

The Appeal Renewed

2 You then, my son,^(A) be strong^(B) in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. ² And the things you have heard me say^(C) in the presence of many witnesses^(D) entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.
