"...our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel."
"What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus."
"Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us."
"Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth."
"In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted..."
It is as plain and simple to me.
To God be the Glory.
