2 Timothy 1:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 [a]For the which cause I also suffer these things, [b]but I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him against that day.
13 [c]Keep the true pattern of the wholesome words, which thou hast heard of me in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 [d]That worthy thing, which was committed to thee, keep [e]through the holy Ghost, which dwelleth in us.
