"Sacred Scripture, the source of wisdom"


You must remain faithful
to what you have learned
        and believed
because you know
who your teachers were.


Likewise,
from your infancy
you have known the Sacred Scriptures,


        the source of wisdom
        which through faith in Jesus Christ
        leads to salvation.


All Scripture is inspired of God


and


is useful for teaching
        - for reproof,
        correction,
        and training in holiness


so that the man of God
may be fully competent
and equipped for every good work


In the presence of God
and of Christ Jesus,


who is coming to judge
the living and the dead,


and by his appearing
and his kingly power,


I charge you to preach the word,


to stay with this task


whether convenient
or inconvenient


- correcting,
reproving,
appealing


- constantly teaching
and never losing patience.
