Philippians 2:22

Moreover as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Yahweh in ceasing to pray for you: but I will instruct you in the good and the right way.

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.

and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience when your obedience is made full.

For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.

For neither were we at any time found using words of flattery, as you know, nor a cloak of covetousness (God is witness),

But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

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.

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

Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to those of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for the past year. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.

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

always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,

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

Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elders.

You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

Pray without ceasing.

Let them also first be tested; then let them serve if they are blameless.

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

In all things be showing yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, be showing integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,

that the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ—

Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there a prophet of Yahweh here, that we may inquire of Yahweh by him?” One of the king of Israel’s servants answered, “Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah, is here.”

For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.

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,
