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 thee in my prayers, night and day.

4Desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy:

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

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

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

8Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but labour with the gospel, according to the power of God.

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

2Sing ye to the Lord and bless his name: shew forth his salvation from day to day.

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

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

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

10Say ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned. For he hath corrected the world, which shall not be moved: he will judge the people with justice.

25At that time Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to little ones.

31And his mother and his brethren came; and standing without, sent unto him, calling him.

32And the multitude sat about him; and they say to him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

33And answering them, he said: Who is my mother and my brethren?

34And looking round about on them who sat about him, he saith: Behold my mother and my brethren.

35For whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
