Faithfulness under Persecution

(Matthew 10:16–25)
3
I thanke God, whom I serue from mine elders with pure conscience, that without ceasing I haue remembrance of thee in my praiers night and day,
4
Desiring to see thee, mindefull of thy teares, that I may be filled with ioy:
5
When I call to remembrance the vnfained faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and am assured that it dwelleth in thee also.
6
Wherefore, I put thee in remembrance that thou stirre vp the gift of God which is in thee, by the putting on of mine hands.
7
For God hath not giuen to vs the Spirite of feare, but of power, and of loue, and of a sound minde.
8
Be not therefore ashamed of the testimonie of our Lord, neither of me his prisoner: but be partaker of the afflictions of the Gospel, according to the power of God,
9
Who hath saued vs, and called vs with an holy calling, not according to our workes, but according to his owne purpose and grace, which was giuen to vs through Christ Iesus before the world was,
10
But is nowe made manifest by that appearing of our Sauiour Iesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortalitie vnto light through the Gospel.
11
Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and Apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12
For the which cause I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed: for I knowe whom I haue beleeued, and I am persuaded that he is able to keepe that which I haue committed to him against that day.

Holding to Sound Teaching

13
Keepe the true paterne of the wholesome wordes, which thou hast heard of me in faith and loue which is in Christ Iesus.
14
That worthie thing, which was committed to thee, keepe through the holy Ghost, which dwelleth in vs.
15
This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia, be turned from me: of which sort are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16
The Lord giue mercie vnto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chaine,
17
But when he was at Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
18
The Lord graunt vnto him, that he may finde mercie with the Lord at that day, and in how many things he hath ministred vnto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
(1 Timothy 1:1–2)
1
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ (a) through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
2
to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Faithfulness under Persecution

(Matthew 10:16–25)
3
I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
4
longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5
having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6
For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7
For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
8
Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,
9
who 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 times eternal,
10
but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
11
For this I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12
For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

Holding to Sound Teaching

13
Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14
That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15
This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16
May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17
but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently and found me
18
(the Lord grant to him to find the Lord’s mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
