- 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.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will not be shaken.
