You have followed His doctrine,
And have followed His teaching;
His conduct to discipline,
That many have been preaching.
Your faith and His aim in life,
With steadfast patience and love;
To persevere all the strife,
That is flowing from above.
Persecution and suffering,
In which we all have endured;
God rescues through buffering,
Know that your faith is secured.
Evil men and seducers,
Will go on from bad to worse;
Deceiving by deceivers,
Whatever causes a curse.
Continue what you have learned,
And what you firmly-believed;
The salvation you have earned,
Eternal life you received.
Since childhood you have known,
Acquainted with the Scriptures;
You will never be alone,
Within your mind that captures.
All Scripture is God breathed out,
Profitable for teaching;
Righteousness you should not doubt,
The instruction out-reaching.
The man of God is complete,
As well as being perfect;
Equipped never with deceit,
Scripture never to reject.
