KJVDo thy diligence^G4704^(G5657) to come^G2064^(G5629) shortly^G5030 unto^G4314 me^G3165:

KJVFor^G1063 Demas^G1214 hath forsaken^G1459^(G5627) me^G3165, having loved^G25^(G5660) this present^G3568 world^G165, and^G2532 is departed^G4198^(G5675) unto^G1519 Thessalonica^G2332; Crescens^G2913 to^G1519 Galatia^G1053, Titus^G5103 unto^G1519 Dalmatia^G1149.

¹⁴ But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.

KJVBut^G1161 continue^G3306^(G5720) thou^G4771 in^G1722 the things which^G3739 thou hast learned^G3129^(G5627) and^G2532 hast been assured of^G4104^(G5681), knowing^G1492^(G5761) of^G3844 whom^G5101 thou hast learned^G3129^(G5627) them;

¹⁷ that each person who belongs to God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

KJVThat^G2443 the man^G444 of God^G2316 may be^G5600^(G5753) perfect^G739, throughly furnished^G1822^(G5772) unto^G4314 all^G3956 good^G18 works^G2041.
