2 Timothy 1:9-13

9Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10But has now been revealed by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: 11To which I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 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.1 13Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
