Greeting

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

To Timothy, a beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,

but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

Be Loyal to the Faith

Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

Be Strong in Grace

You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel,

Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

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

Preach the Word

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:

Farewell

The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
