But you, because you warned him, the righteous one, so that the righteous one, should not sin, and he does not sin, living he shall live because he is warned. And you have delivered your soul.
Because of this I sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved child, and faithful in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.
But I have not used one of these. And I do not write these things that it be so in me. For it is good to me rather to die than that anyone nullify my glorying.
And we exhort you, brothers, to admonish the disobedient ones, comfort the ones being faint-hearted, sustain the ones being weak, be long-suffering towards all.
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you do not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous One.
