| 2:6 | The husbandman must labour before he receiue the fruites. |
| 2:7 | Consider what I say: and the Lord giue thee vnderstanding in all things: |

| 2:9 | Wherein I suffer trouble as an euill doer, euen vnto bondes: but the worde of God is not bounde. |
| 2:10 | Therefore I suffer all things, for the elects sake, that they might also obtaine the saluation which is in Christ Iesus, with eternall glorie. |

| 2:22 | Flee also from the lustes of youth, and follow after righteousnes, faith, loue, and peace, with them that call on the Lord with pure heart, |
| 2:23 | And put away foolish and vnlearned questions, knowing that they ingender strife. |

| 2:10 | Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. |
| 2:11 | This is a faithful saying: because if we died with Him, we will also live with Him. |

| 2:22 | Flee youthful lusts also; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. |
| 2:23 | But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. |

| 2:25 | in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, |
| 2:26 | and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will. |
