That You May Believe

³⁰ And ^(A)truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book;

^25 (A)And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, ^(B)I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.

¹³ These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, ^[a]and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

God’s Promise Is Not Slack^(A)

3 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which ^(B)I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), ² that you may be mindful of the words ^(C)which were spoken before by the holy prophets, ^(D)and of the commandment of ^[a]us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,

¹⁵ and that from childhood you have known ^(A)the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

^16 (B)All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, ^(C)and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for ^[a]instruction in righteousness, ^17 (D)that the man of God may be complete, ^(E)thoroughly equipped for every good work.

¹¹ Now ^[a]all these things happened to them as examples, and ^(A)they were written for our ^[b]admonition, ^(B)upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

⁴ For ^(A)whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the ^[a]patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

¹¹ This ^(A)beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, ^(B)and ^[a]manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.

³ it seemed good to me also, having ^[a]had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write to you an orderly account, ^(A)most excellent Theophilus, ^4 (B)that you may know the certainty of those things in which you were instructed.
