2 Timothy 2; 1 Peter 3

Thank you, father, for your holy scriptures which are able to make me wise for your salvation which is mine through faith in Jesus Christ.

All your scripture is given by inspiration and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, so that I am complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work that you have ordained for me, Lord. By your word in me I have become your man.

Therefore, I stand strong in the grace that is in my Lord Jesus. I study your word and seek your presence. I am diligent to present myself to you, oh Lord, a worker who need not be ashamed; one who can rightly divide the word of truth.

You, Lord, know me, and you know I am yours. I am your servant, lord. I avoid foolish and ignorant disputes. I do not quarrel. I am gentle to all. I’m willing to teach, and I am patient. In humility I will correct those in opposition to you, father, praying, Lord, that you will grant them repentance.

I sanctify you, Lord Jesus, in my heart, and I am ready to give an answer to everyone who asked me for the reason for the hope that is in me, with gentleness and respect.
