2 Timothy 4:16-18

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹⁶ The first time I spoke for myself in court, no one was on my side. All left me. I hope that God will forgive them.

¹⁷ But the Lord was with me. He gave me strength to tell the message. All those who are not Jews heard it. And I was saved out of the mouth of the lion.

¹⁸ The Lord will save me from every wrong thing. He will bring me safely into the kingdom of heaven. Praise him for ever and ever. Yes, he will!
