Hebrews 13:23

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in his Father’s glory, with the holy angels.”

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.

Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.

“Come now, and let’s reason together,” says Yahweh: “Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.

I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,

Servants, in the same way, must be reverent, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for money,

in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.

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

Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.

Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s sake.

Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;

to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

Every man who strives in the games exercises self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:

They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death.

Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city.

they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.

and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.

Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.

Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.

But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”

Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea; Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians; Gaius of Derbe; Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my relatives and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles, who were also in Christ before me.

even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:

But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.

to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,

to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.

For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same things to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.

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

I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.

I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;

They sang a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the book and to open its seals: for you were killed, and bought us for God with your blood out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,

Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.

She shall give birth to a son. You shall name him Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.”

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.

Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

But the unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace, and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.

After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth.

Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

whenever I travel to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.

Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear, for he does the work of the Lord, as I also do.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”

Paul, an apostle—not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith,

comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.

This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer desires a good work.

laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.

May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,

You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;

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

He came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed; but his father was a Greek.

But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.

When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain.

Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;

Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

These things I write to you, hoping to come to you shortly;

Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,

Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon, our beloved fellow worker,

Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.

Having many things to write to you, I don’t want to do so with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you, and to speak face to face, that our joy may be made full.
