Hold to the standard of sound words that you heard from me and do so with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

You, however, must continue in the things you have learned and are confident about. You know who taught you

When you come, bring with you the cloak I left in Troas with Carpas and the scrolls, especially the parchments.

May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day! And you know very well all the ways he served me in Ephesus.

And entrust what you heard me say in the presence of many others as witnesses to faithful people who will be competent to teach others as well.
