came. d 10 But you have closely
followed my teaching, my course
of life, e my purpose, my faith, my
long-suffering, my love, my endurance,
11 my persecutions,
my sufferings, the sort of things
that happened to me in Antioch,
f in I·coni·um, g in Lystra, h
the sort of persecutions I have
borne; and yet out of them all
the Lord delivered me. i 12 In
fact, all those desiring to live
with godly devotion in association
with Christ Jesus will also
be persecuted. j 13 But wicked
men and impostors will advance
from bad to worse, misleading
and being misled. k
14 You, however, continue in
the things that you learned
and were persuaded to believe, l
knowing from what persons
you learned them m 15 and that
from infancy n you have known
the holy writings, which are
able to make you wise for salvation
o through the faith in connection
with Christ Jesus. p

in righteousness, 17 that the
man of God may be fully competent,

every good work. w

poured out like a drink offering,
h and the due time for my releasing
i is imminent. 7 I have
fought the fine fight, j Ihaverun
the course to the finish, k Ihave
observed the faith. l 8 From
this time on there is reserved for
me the crown of righteousness, m
which the Lord, the righteous
judge, n will give me as a reward o
in that day, p yet not only to me,
but also to all those who have
loved his manifestation.

to me shortly. q 10 For Demas
r has forsaken me becausehelovedthepresentsystem

Ga·lati·a, t Titus to Dal·matia.
11 Luke alone is with me. Take
Mark and bring him with you, for
he is useful u to me for ministering.
