The farmer who works hard ought to have the first share of the crops.

At my first defense no one appeared in my support; instead they all deserted me – may they not be held accountable for it.

I recall your sincere faith that was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am sure is in you.

Take your share of suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
