¹⁰ But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

¹¹ persecutions, afflictions which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra — what persecutions I endured. But out of them all, the Lord delivered me.

¹² Yea, and all who will live a godly life in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

¹³ But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

¹⁴ But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing from whom thou hast learned them,

¹⁵ and that from childhood thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁰ “Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a publican.

¹¹ The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank Thee that I am not as other men are: extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

¹² I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’

¹³ And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’

¹⁴ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other; for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.”
