1 Timothy 6:12-16

12 1Fight the good fight of 2faith; 3take hold of the eternal life 4to which you were called, and for which you made the good 5confession in the presence of 6many witnesses. 13 7I direct 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 12fault or reproach until the 13appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15which He will 14bring about at 15the proper time--He who is 16the blessed and 17only Sovereign, 18the King of 19kings and 20Lord of 21lords, 16 22who alone possesses immortality and 23dwells in unapproachable light, 24whom 25no one has seen or can see. 26To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
