²⁴ But ^(A)I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may ^(B)finish my course and ^(C)the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to ^(D)testify solemnly of the gospel of ^(E)God’s grace.

^2 [a]It was because of a ^(A)revelation that I went up; and I submitted to them the ^(B)gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but I did so in private to those who were of reputation, for fear that somehow I might be ^(C)running, or had run, in vain.

⁷ You were ^(A)running well; who hindered you from obeying the truth?

^12 (A)Fight the good fight of ^(B)faith; ^(C)take hold of the eternal life ^(D)to which you were called, and for which you made the good ^(E)confession in the presence of ^(F)many witnesses.

^11 (A)I am coming quickly; ^(B)hold firmly to what you have, so that no one will take your ^(C)crown.
