- Timothy, my dear son, be strong through the grace that God gives you in Christ Jesus.
- This is a trustworthy saying:
If we die with him,
we will also live with him. - Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.
- Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.
And may the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow and overflow, just as our love for you overflows. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.Next verse!With image
