Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.

And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.

Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;

This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; / Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: / Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the LORD, which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.

Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
