But ^(C1)flee from these things, you ^(C2)man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, ^(C3)faith, ^(C4)love, ^(F1)perseverance, and gentleness.

^(C1)Fight the good fight of ^(C2)faith; ^(C3)take hold of the eternal life ^(C4)to which you were called, and for which you made the good ^(C5)confession in the presence of ^(C6)many witnesses.

^(C1)I direct you in the presence of God, who ^(F1)gives life to all things, and of ^(C2)Christ Jesus, who testified the ^(C3)good confession ^(C4)before Pontius Pilate,

that you keep the commandment without ^(F1)fault or reproach until the ^(C1)appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

which He will ^(F1)bring about at ^(C1)the proper time—He who is ^(C2)the blessed and ^(C3)only Sovereign, ^(C4)the King of ^(F2)kings and ^(C5)Lord of ^(F3)lords,

^(C1)who alone possesses immortality and ^(C2)dwells in unapproachable light, ^(C3)whom ^(F1)no one has seen or can see. ^(C1)To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
