but now made visible through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. He has broken the power of death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel!

So I endure all things for the sake of those chosen by God, that they too may obtain salvation in Christ Jesus and its eternal glory.

From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to further the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

Protect that good thing entrusted to you, through the Holy Spirit who lives within us.

Because of this I remind you to rekindle God’s gift that you possess through the laying on of my hands.

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.

and how from infancy you have known the holy writings, which are able to give you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
