For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and sobriety.

Who 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 us in Christ Jesus before eternal ages,

The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus; because he ofttimes refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain;

Consider what I am saying; for the Lord will give you discernment in all things.

in meekness correcting those opposing themselves, if peradventure God should give them repentance to a full knowledge of the truth,

Give diligence to come to me speedily;

Give diligence to come to me before winter. Eubulus salutes you, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
