I solemnly charge you, in the sight of God and of Christ Jesus, who will one day judge the living and the dead — I charge you by his Appearing and by his Kingdom: —

They will turn a deaf ear to the Truth, and give their attention to legends instead.

But you, Timothy, must always be temperate. Face hardships; do the work of a Missionary; discharge all the duties of your Office.

As for me, my life blood is already being poured out; the time of my departure is close at hand.
7 aham uttamayuddhaṁ kṛtavān gantavyamārgasyāntaṁ yāvad dhāvitavān viśvāsañca rakṣitavān|
I have run the great Race; I have finished the Course; I have kept the Faith.

And now the crown of righteousness awaits me, which the Lord, the just Judge, will give me on ‘That Day’ — and not only to me, but to all who have loved his Appearing.

Do your utmost to come to me soon;

Alexander, the coppersmith, showed much ill-feeling towards me. ‘The Lord will give him what his actions deserve.’

At my first trial no one stood by me. They all deserted me. May it never be counted against them!
