Paul’s Valedictory

⁶ For ^(A)I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of ^(B)my departure is at hand. ^7 (C)I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. ⁸ Finally, there is laid up for me ^(D)the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous ^(E)Judge, will give to me ^(F)on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.

^10 (A)Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. ^(B)Be faithful until death, and I will give you ^(C)the crown of life.
