"I charge you, in the sight of God, who enlivens all things, and in the sight of Christ Jesus, who gave the testimony of a good profession under Pontius Pilate, "
— 1 Timothy 6:13, Catholic Public Domain Version
“I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;”
“I charge thee in the sight of God, who giveth life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good confession; ”
“I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,”
“I charge you before God who gives life to all things and Christ Jesus who made his good confession before Pontius Pilate,”
“I charge thee before God who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate, a good confession:”
“I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,”
“I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;”
For desire is the root of all evils. Some persons, hungering in this way, have strayed from the faith and have entangled themselves in many sorrows.
But you, O man of God, flee from these things, and truly pursue justice, piety, faith, charity, patience, meekness.
Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you have been called, and make a good profession of faith in the sight of many witnesses.
I charge you, in the sight of God, who enlivens all things, and in the sight of Christ Jesus, who gave the testimony of a good profession under Pontius Pilate,
to observe the commandment, immaculately, irreproachably, unto the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For at the proper time, he shall reveal the blessed and only Power, the King of kings and the Lord of lords,
who alone holds immortality, and who inhabits the inaccessible light, whom no man has seen, nor even is able to see, to whom is honor and everlasting dominion. Amen.
