Thankfulness for Spiritual Attainments

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my imprisonment. Grace be with you.
