1:1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, according to the promise of life, which is in Christ Jesus.

2To Timothy my dearly beloved son, grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

3I give thanks to God, whom I serve from my forefathers with a pure conscience, that without ceasing, I have a remembrance of you in my prayers, night and day.

4Desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be satisfied with joy,

5Calling to mind that faith which is in you unfeigned, which also dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and in your mother Eunice, and I am certain that in you also.

6For which cause I admonish you, that you stir up the grace of God which is in you, by the imposition of my hands.

7For God has not given us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of sobriety.

8Be not you therefore ashamed of the teaching of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but work with the gospel, according to the power of God,

96:1A canticle for David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. Sing you to the Lord a new canticle: sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2Sing you to the Lord and bless his name: show forth his salvation from day to day.

3Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.

7Bring you to the Lord, O you kindreds of the Gentiles, bring you to the Lord glory and honour:

8bring to the Lord glory to his name. Bring up sacrifices, and come into his courts:

10Say you among the Gentiles, the Lord has reigned. For he has corrected the world, which shall not be moved: he will judge the people with righteousness.

3:22And the teachers of the law who were come down from Jerusalem, said: He has Beelzebub, and by the leader of devils he casteth out devils.

23And after he had called them together, he said to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan?

24And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

25And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

26And if Satan be risen up against himself, he is divided, and cannot stand, but has an end.

27No man can enter into the house of a strong man and rob him of his goods, unless he first bind the strong man, and then shall he plunder his house.

28Amen I say to you, that all sins shall be forgiven to the people, and the words against God with what they shall blaspheme:

29But the one who will blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, shall never have forgiveness, but shall be guilty of an eternal sin.

30Because they said: He has an unclean spirit.
