Therefore I sent to you Timothy, which is my most dearworthy son, and faithful in the Lord, which shall teach you my ways, that be in Christ Jesus; as I teach everywhere in each church.
In whom also ye were called, when ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your health, in whom ye believing be marked with the Holy Ghost of promise,
and we sent Timothy, our brother, and minister of God in the evangel of Christ, to you to be confirmed, and to be taught, [or admonished], for your faith,
Therefore I, Paul, no longer abiding, sent to know your faith, lest peradventure he that tempteth [shall] tempt you, and your travail [or our travail] be made vain.
We owe to do thankings ever-more to God for you, brethren, so as it is worthy, for your faith over-waxeth [or ever-waxeth], and the charity of each of you to other aboundeth.
For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not confound-ed. For I know to whom I have believed, and I am certain that he is mighty to keep that is taken to my keeping, into that day.
