I remember your true faith. It is the same faith your grandmother Lois had and your mother Eunice had. I am sure you have that same faith also.

Keep all the things I taught you. They were given to you in the faith and love of Jesus Christ.

If we have no faith, He will still be faithful for He cannot go against what He is.

Tell your people about these things again. In the name of the Lord, tell them not to argue over words that are not important. It helps no one and it hurts the faith of those who are listening.

They have turned from the truth. They say the dead have already been raised. The faith of some people has been made weak because of such foolish talk.

Turn away from the sinful things young people want to do. Go after what is right. Have a desire for faith and love and peace. Do this with those who pray to God from a clean heart.

But you know what I teach and how I live. You know what I want to do. You know about my faith and my love. You know how long I am willing to wait for something. You know how I keep on working for God even when it is hard for me.

I have fought a good fight. I have finished the work I was to do. I have kept the faith.
