¹ Thou, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that `is' in Christ Jesus,

¹⁰ As to the rest, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might;

⁷ for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind;

¹³ Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong;

¹⁸ This charge I commit to thee, child Timotheus, according to the prophesies that went before upon thee, that thou mayest war in them the good warfare,

¹³ For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening me;

⁹ and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ may rest on me:

¹⁰ wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses -- for Christ; for whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful;

⁷ `Only, be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded thee; thou dost not turn aside from it right or left, so that thou dost act wisely in every `place' whither thou goest;

¹⁸ and increase ye in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; to him `is' the glory both now, and to the day of the age! Amen.

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

⁴ And now, be strong, O Zerubbabel, An affirmation of Jehovah, And be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, And be strong, all ye people of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah, And do ye -- (for I `am' with you, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts) --

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