GREETING GUARD THE DEPOSIT ENTRUSTED TO YOU

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.

OUTLINE OF THE SECOND EPISTLE TO TIMOTHY

This is the last Epistle of the great Apostle, who was apparently awaiting sentence.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CHURCH FALSE TEACHERS AND TRUE CONTENTMENT

Remember that you can carry nothing out of this world except your character.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CHURCH IMPARTIAL AND KINDLY SUPERVISION

For the Scripture says, you shall not muzzle an ox when it is treading out the grain, and again, the laborer is worthy of his hire.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CHURCH HOME-KEEPING INDUSTRY

So I want younger widows to get married, have children, manage their households, and not give opponents of the faith any occasion for slander.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CHURCH WISE TREATMENT OF YOUNG AND OLD

If anyone fails to provide for his own, and especially for those of his own family, he has denied the faith [by disregarding its precepts] and is worse than an unbeliever [who fulfills his obligation in these matters].

A GOOD SERVANT OF CHRIST JESUS

Pay close attention to yourself [concentrate on your personal development] and to your teaching; persevere in these things [hold to them], for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you.
