While I was with them, I kept them in thy name; those that thou gavest to me, I kept, and none of them perished, but the son of perdition, that the scripture be fulfilled.
But I dread nothing of these, neither I make my life preciouser than myself, so that I end, [or fulfill], my course, and the ministry of the word, which I received of the Lord Jesus, to witness the gospel of the grace of God.
