Only let your conduct be suitable for the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
For whoremongers, for those who defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for oathbreakers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
If anyone teaches otherwise, and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
For the time will come when they will not endure sound teaching; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
Beloved, when I applied myself to write to you of the common salvation, I felt it necessary to write to you and urge you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints.
Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come upon you like a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you.
