For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.

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

Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

Now you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, perseverance,

in the future there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.

for Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
