¹⁷ because of this I sent to you Timotheus, who is my child, beloved and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my ways in Christ, according as everywhere in every assembly I teach.

¹⁷ if not, as God did distribute to each, as the Lord hath called each -- so let him walk; and thus in all the assemblies do I direct:

² to Timotheus -- genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord,

¹⁰ And if Timotheus may come, see that he may become without fear with you, for the work of the Lord he doth work, even as I,

² to Timotheus, beloved child: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord!

¹ And concerning the collection that `is' for the saints, as I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also ye -- do ye;

³³ for God is not `a God' of tumult, but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.

²⁵ And concerning the virgins, a command of the Lord I have not; and I give judgment as having obtained kindness from the Lord to be faithful:

² And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep,

¹⁶ and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.

¹⁰ `Be not afraid of the things that thou art about to suffer; lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that ye may be tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days; become thou faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of the life.

¹³ I have known thy works, and where thou dost dwell -- where the throne of the Adversary `is' -- and thou dost hold fast my name, and thou didst not deny my faith, even in the days in which Antipas `was' my faithful witness, who was put to death beside you, where the Adversary doth dwell.

¹⁰ And thou -- thou hast followed after my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,

² and the things that thou didst hear from me through many witnesses, these things be committing to stedfast men, who shall be sufficient also others to teach;

² and did send Timotheus -- our brother, and a ministrant of God, and our fellow-workman in the good news of the Christ -- to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith,

³ that no one be moved in these tribulations, for yourselves have known that for this we are set,

¹⁷ A wicked messenger falleth into evil, And a faithful ambassador is healing.

⁴⁵ `Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord did set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season?

²¹ `And his lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord.

²³ `His lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord.

²¹ And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in the Spirit, having gone through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on to Jerusalem, saying -- `After my being there, it behoveth me also to see Rome;'

²² and having sent to Macedonia two of those ministering to him -- Timotheus and Erastus -- he himself stayed a time in Asia.

² and as to the rest, it is required in the stewards that one may be found faithful,

¹⁵ for if a myriad of child-conductors ye may have in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, through the good news, I -- I did beget you;

²¹ And that ye may know -- ye also -- the things concerning me -- what I do, all things make known to you shall Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful ministrant in the Lord,

¹⁹ And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you,

⁷ as ye also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful ministrant of the Christ,

⁹ with Onesimus the faithful and beloved brother, who is of you; all things to you shall they make known that `are' here.

⁷ not so My servant Moses; in all My house he `is' stedfast;
