and the Lord give thee understanding in 55:002:008 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised 55:002:009 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; 55:002:010 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they 55:002:011 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall 55:002:012 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he 55:002:013 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny 55:002:014 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before 55:002:015 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that 55:002:016 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase 55:002:017 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus 55:002:018 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the 55:002:019 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this 55:002:020 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of 55:002:021 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a 55:002:022 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, 55:002:023 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they 55:002:024 And the servant of the Lord must not strive;
