Paul's last letter, written from a Roman prison shortly before his execution. It is a tender, urgent passing-on of the baton: keep the faith, guard the gospel, preach the word, endure hardship. "I have fought a good fight."
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.”
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”
