12
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
13
I give thee charge in the sight of God, who maketh alive all things, and [before] Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified a good confession;
14
That thou keep [this] commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15
Which in his times he will show [who is] the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16
Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honor and power everlasting. Amen.
17
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
18
That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19
Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
20
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called;
21
Which some professing, have erred concerning the faith. Grace [be] with thee. Amen.
