1 Timothy 6:12-16

12 1Fight the good fight of 2faith; 3take hold of the eternal life 4to which you were called, and you made the good 5confession in the presence of 6many witnesses. 13 7I charge you in the presence of God, who 8gives life to all things, and of 9Christ Jesus, who testified the 10good confession 11before Pontius Pilate, 14that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the 12appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15which He will 13bring about at 14the proper time--He who is 15the blessed and 16only Sovereign, 17the King of 18kings and 19Lord of 20lords, 16 21who alone possesses immortality and 22dwells in unapproachable light, 23whom no man has seen or can see. 24To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
