My Friend and Brother:

"I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day."

"Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith."

"Train yourself for godliness."

"Avoid irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called "knowledge", for by professing it some have swerved from the faith."

"But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me."

"No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him."

"Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything."

"But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene...They are upsetting the faith of some. But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.""

"Avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless."

"For people will be...unholy...having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power...always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth...But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all."

"They profess to know God, but deny him by their works."

"Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life will be persecuted."

"As for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been aquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work."

"CHRIST IS ALL, AND IN ALL."

"May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ."

"May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it."

"May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way."

"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you..."

"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you."
