12For which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him until that day. 13Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
