For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

Let brotherly love continue.

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
