14. But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.
15. Faithful is the word, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the first.

17. Now to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages. Amen.
18. This charge, my child Timotheus, I commit to thee, according to the prophecies as to thee preceding, in order that thou mightest war by them the good warfare,
