¹⁴ But see that you keep to the teaching you have been given and the things of which you are certain, conscious of who has been your teacher;

¹³ Keep the form of those true words which you had from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

¹³ And for this cause we still give praise to God, that, when the word came to your ears through us, you took it, not as the word of man, but, as it truly is, the word of God, which has living power in you who have faith.

² And the things which I have said to you before a number of witnesses, give to those of the faith, so that they may be teachers of others.

⁵ Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you.

²² Let us go in with true hearts, in certain faith, having our hearts made free from the sense of sin and our bodies washed with clean water:

¹¹ And it is our desire that you may all keep the same high purpose in certain hope to the end:

¹⁵ And that from the time when you were a child, you have had knowledge of the holy Writings, which are able to make you wise to salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus.

¹⁶ Give attention to yourself and your teaching. Go on in these things; for in doing so you will get salvation for yourself and for those who give hearing to you.

⁵ This man puts one day before another: to that man they are the same. Let every man be certain in his mind.

³¹ Because a day has been fixed in which all the world will be judged in righteousness by the man who has been marked out by him for this work; of which he has given a sign to all men by giving him back from the dead.

² So that their hearts may be comforted, and that being joined together in love, they may come to the full wealth of the certain knowledge of the secret of God, even Christ,
