2 Timothy 3:1011

1

• 2 Timothy 310-11
• But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of
  life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity,
  patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came
  unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra what
  persecutions I endured but out of them all the
  Lord delivered me.

2

• 2 Timothy 46-8
• I am already being poured out as a drink
  offering, and the time of my departure is at
  hand. I have fought the good fight, I have
  finished the race, I have kept the faith.
  Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of
  righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous
  Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me
  only but also to all who have loved His
  appearing.

  warfare entangles himself with the affairs of
  this life, that he may please him who enlisted
  him as a soldier.

• Philippians 127-30
• Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel
  of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or
  am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you
  stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving
  together for the faith of the gospel, and not in
  any way terrified by your adversaries, which is
  to them a proof of perdition, but to you of
  salvation, and that from God. For to you it has
  been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to
  believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,
  having the same conflict which you saw in me and
  now hear is in me.

8

• 1 Thessalonians 21-2
• For you yourselves know, brethren, that our
  coming to you was not in vain. But even after we
  had suffered before and were spitefully treated
  at Philippi, as you know, we were bold in our God
  to speak to you the gospel of God in much
  conflict.

11
I Want to Say

• I have finished the course
• Christianity is a race Heb. 121-2
• Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by
  so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside
  every weight, and the sin which so easily
  ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the
  race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus,
  the author and finisher of our faith, who for the
  joy that was set before Him endured the cross,
  despising the shame, and has sat down at the
  right hand of the throne of God.

  does not sit down first and count the cost,
  whether he has enough to finish it lest, after he
  has laid the foundation, and is not able to
  finish, all who see it begin to mock him.

16

• Philippians 312-14
• Not that I have already attained, or am already
  perfected but I press on, that I may lay hold of
  that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of
  me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have
  apprehended but one thing I do, forgetting those
  things which are behind and reaching forward to
  those things which are ahead, I press toward the
  goal for the prize of the upward call of God in
  Christ Jesus.
