¹⁰But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

¹¹Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

¹²Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

¹²Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

¹³But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

¹⁵And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
