But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state. (2:19)

For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. (2:20)

For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's. (2:21)

But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel. (2:22)

--1 Timothy--

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (6:12)
