1 Timothy 6:12

But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

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

And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.

That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us.

My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.

One shall say, I am the LORD’s; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;
