<p class="bodytext">Because of this I remind you to rekindle God&#8217;s gift that you possess<n id="1" /> through the laying on of my hands.

but now made visible through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. He<n id="1" /> 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,<n id="1" /> that they too may obtain salvation in Christ Jesus and its eternal glory.<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">From Paul,<n id="1" /> an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to further the promise<n id="2" /> of life in Christ Jesus,

Protect that good thing<n id="1" /> entrusted to you, through the Holy Spirit who lives within us.p>

And entrust what you heard me say<n id="1" /> in the presence of many others as witnesses<n id="2" /> to faithful people<n id="3" /> who will be competent<n id="4" /> 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.

Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do.<n id="1" /> But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set<n id="2" /> and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me<n id="3" /> until that day.<n id="4" />

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message<n id="1" /> would be fully proclaimed<n id="2" /> for all the Gentiles to hear. And so I was delivered from the lion&#8217;s mouth!
