That good thing which was committed unto you keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

But continue in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing of whom you have learned them;

She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is everyone that retains her.

My son, let not them depart from your eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:

He taught me also, and said unto me, Let your heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.

Forsake her not, and she shall preserve you: love her, and she shall keep you.

Exalt her, and she shall promote you: she shall bring you to honor, when you do embrace her.

Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

Only let your manner of life be as it becomes the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

Test all things; hold fast that which is good.

Holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to refute the opposition.

But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was necessary for me to write unto you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

But that which you have already hold fast till I come.

Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you will not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.

Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown.

Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who has the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

But God be thanked, that you were the servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

For fornicators, for homosexuals, for slave traders, for liars, for perjurers, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

But you speak the things which become sound doctrine:

Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is an opponent may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

And the things that you have heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Those things, which you have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which you have to all the saints,

And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
