Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

2 Timothy 1
⁹ who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,
¹⁰ but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
¹¹ to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
¹² For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.
¹³ Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
¹⁴ That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
¹⁵ This you know, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
¹⁶ The Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain;
¹⁷ but when he arrived in Rome, he sought me out very zealously and found me.
¹⁸ The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that Day--and you know very well how many ways he ministered to me at Ephesus.
2 Timothy 2
¹ You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
