¹ This, now, beloved, a second letter to you I write, in both which I stir up your pure mind in reminding `you',

⁶ For which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God that is in thee through the putting on of my hands,

¹² Wherefore, I will not be careless always to remind you concerning these things, though, having known them, and having been established in the present truth,

⁴ The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.

⁸ `Happy the clean in heart -- because they shall see God.
