Apostol § 296

My son Timothy, you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience, persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra. What persecutions I endured; but out of them all the Lord delivered me! Yes, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But as for you, continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
