2 Timothy 4:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ You, too, must watch out for him, for he violently opposed our message.

¹⁶ At my first trial no one came to my defense. Everyone abandoned me. May it not be held against them! ¹⁷ However, the Lord stood by me and gave me strength so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the gentiles could hear it. I was rescued out of a lion’s mouth.
