NOBLE DEEDS.

ney so that they may be provided with everything they need. And let our brothers in Crete also learn to give their attention to noble deeds for the relief of those in want, so that they may not be unfruitful.

All those who are with me send you their best wishes.

Give our best wishes to those who love us in the faith.

May the divine favor be with you all.

II. TIMOTHY.

Paul,

An Apostle of Christ Jesus,
By the will of God,

To make known the promise of life
Which is in Christ Jesus;

To Timothy my dear child :

May favor, pity, and peace, be yours,

From God the Father

And Christ Jesus our Lord.

I thank God whom I keep serving with a clear conscience and with the thoughts and feelings which I have inherited from my forefathers. For you are ever uppermost in my prayers night and day. For I remember your tears and long to see you so that my joy may be complete. I thank God, I say, because I have been reminded of the sincerity of your faith. It is just such as your grandmother Lois first had and your mother Eunice, and I believe is in you as well. It is for this reason I remind you to make use of the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God did not give us the spirit of cowardice, but of power and of love and of selfcontrol.
