This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,

And they shall be like mighty ones who trample the mud of the streets in the battle. And they shall fight because Jehovah is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.

And everyone who competes for the prize controls himself in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we an imperishable.

Therefore I run in this manner: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.

in the Word of Truth, in the power of God, through the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity unto the obedience of Christ,

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against authorities, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in the heavenlies.

Stand firm therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;

But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.

For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.

storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

My soul has clung to You; Your right hand upholds me.

She is a tree of life to those who lay hold upon her, and happy is everyone who holds fast to her.

Scarcely had I passed by them, when I found him whom my soul loves. I took hold of him and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the room of her who conceived me.

Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold, since Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold fast to the origin of our Foundation steadfast to the end,

that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

And this is the promise that He has promised us: Eternal Life.

Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not at all know what hour I will come upon you.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand unto glory,

whom He also called, not only of us Jews, but also of the Gentiles?

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

that you would walk worthily of God who calls you into His kingdom and glory.

to which He called you through our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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 the beginning of time,

not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, in order that you may inherit blessing.

But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

I charge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

And you shall go to the one who is priest in those days, and say to him, I declare today unto Jehovah your God that I have come to the land which Jehovah has sworn to our fathers to give to us.

Today you have declared Jehovah to be your God, and to walk in His ways and to keep His statutes, His commandments, and His judgments, and to obey His voice.

and to make you high above all nations which He has made, in praise, in name, and in honor, and that you may be a holy people unto Jehovah your God, as He has spoken.

One shall say, I am Jehovah's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall write with his hand, For Jehovah, and be named by the name of Israel.

Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels of God.

But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Know that our brother Timothy has been set free, with whom I shall see you if he comes shortly.
