   (In the Order Believed Written)

(Paul writing a second letter to Timothy, Verse 9 “..who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of who we are or what we do, but because of hiS own purpose, and grace, which he gave us, in Christ Jesus, before the ages even began”  1O - and which now has been seen {and witnessed) through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death (!) and brought life and immortality to light! Through the good news that is proclaimed, 11 for which I was appointed a preacher, apostle and teacher, 12 which is why I suffer as I do. But I’m not ashamed, for I know who it is I have believed, and I’m convinced he is able to guard until that day, what has been entrusted to me. {The Lord’s ‘day’ or expecting the ‘last day’ when the still tares gather to armageddon? (Siren call division?) Same day Jesus “returns” and begins his long second advent, called gathering the wheat into the barn. Please consider, when you find time, 1Cor.15:22-24,28 wiTh Mt.13:33, key word 3! Three harvests, barley, wheat.. and grape.} 

     13 Follow the pattern and sound teaching you have heard from me. Continue in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 14 And by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you. {Deposit - down payment? Though “deposit” is sort of inserted.. perhaps implied?}.

     15 You’re aware all who are in Asia went away and left me on my own, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. [..It’s interesting that Jesus dictated (to John) seven letters to seven churches of Asia, which begin the Book of Revelation.]

     16 But may the Lord grant special mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains (house arrest in Rome). 17 Instead when he arrived in Rome he searched earnestly for me, and found me. 18 May the Lord grant him to find special kindness from the Lord on that day! And you well know all the service he rendered at Ephesus.

           Paul’s Letter To Titus

1 - As for you, Titus, teach what accords with sound [hugiainó - reasonable, sound, pure, healthy, uncorrupted] teaching. 2 Older men should be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound [hugiainó] in the faith, in love, and in steadfastness. 3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They should teach what is good, 4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, keeping a home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands - that the word of God may not be reviled. 6 Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.

     7 Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, 8 and sound words that cannot be condemned, so those who contradict may be convinced and turn, and have nothing evil to say about us.

      Paul’s 1st Letter To Timothy

(Verse 8, Paul against other doctrine — We know the law is good, if one uses it lawfully) 9 understanding this, that the law isn’t scribed/written for the just but for the lawless and disobedient. For the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike fathers and mothers, for murderers,10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for enslavers, and liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching. 11 This is in accordance with the gospel/message/good news, of the {radiant, undeniable}GL0RY of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.

     12 I thank he who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, and appointed me to his service. 13 Though formerly I was a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent opponent! But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly and in unbelief. 14 And the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that is found in Christ Jesus. 15 And this saying is true and trustworthy, and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners [hamartólos - from hamartanō - to miss the mark] {to save hamartians, the imperfect, all of us}. And I (Paul) am the worst of them all.
