¹⁸ praying ^(A)at all times ^(B)in the Spirit, ^(C)with all prayer and supplication. To that end, ^(D)keep alert with all perseverance, making ^(E)supplication for all the saints, ¹⁹ and ^(F)also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth ^(G)boldly to proclaim ^(H)the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I ^(I)am an ambassador ^(J)in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

Final Greetings

^21 (K)So that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, ^(L)Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything. ²² I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may ^(M)encourage your hearts.

^23 (N)Peace be to the brothers,^[a] and ^(O)love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁴ Grace be with all who ^(P)love our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible.

Fight the Good Fight of Faith

¹¹ But as for you, ^(A)O man of God, ^(B)flee these things. ^(C)Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. ^12 (D)Fight the good fight of the faith. ^(E)Take hold of the eternal life ^(F)to which you were called and about which you made ^(G)the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. ^13 (H)I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, ^(I)who in his testimony before^[a] Pontius Pilate made ^(J)the good confession, ¹⁴ to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until ^(K)the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵ which he will display ^(L)at the proper time—he who is ^(M)the blessed and only Sovereign, ^(N)the King of kings and Lord of lords, ^16 (O)who alone has immortality, ^(P)who dwells in ^(Q)unapproachable light, ^(R)whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.

¹⁷ As for the rich in ^(S)this present age, charge them ^(T)not to be haughty, nor ^(U)to set their hopes on ^(V)the uncertainty of riches, but on God, ^(W)who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. ¹⁸ They are to do good, ^(X)to be rich in good works, to be generous and ^(Y)ready to share, ¹⁹ thus ^(Z)storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may ^(AA)take hold of ^(AB)that which is truly life.
