9who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,
10but hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
11whereunto I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher.
12For which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed unto him against that day.
13Hold the pattern of sound words which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14That good thing which was committed unto [thee] guard through the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us.
15This thou knowest, that all that are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
