But reject those myths ¹  fit only for the godless and gullible, ²  and train yourself for godliness.

And the Lord’s slave ¹  must not engage in heated disputes ²  but be kind toward all, an apt teacher, patient,

that the person dedicated to God ¹  may be capable ²  and equipped for every good work.

Remind them to be subject to rulers and ¹  authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work.

They must not slander ¹  anyone, but be peaceable, gentle, showing complete courtesy to all people.

For perhaps it was for this reason that he was separated from you for a little while, so that you would have him back eternally, ¹ 

and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that God has commanded you to keep.” ¹ 

God had told him, “Through Isaac descendants will carry on your name,” ¹ 

We must go out to him, then, outside the camp, bearing the abuse he experienced. ¹

All unrighteousness ¹  is sin, but there is sin not resulting in death. ²

Then ¹  he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me ²  in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms ³  must be fulfilled.”

So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, ¹  about whom you testified – see, he is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to him!”

Then Jesus, when he looked up ¹  and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread so that these people may eat?”

You heard me say to you, ¹  ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be glad ²  that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am. ³ 

But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I am going away. For if I do not go away, the Advocate ¹  will not come to you, but if I go, I will send him to you.
