2 Timothy 4:15-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁵ You be on your guard against him also, because he vehemently opposed our message.

¹⁶ At my first hearing, no one came to my defense, but everyone deserted me. May it not be counted against them. ¹⁷ But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles would hear it, and I was rescued from the lion’s mouth.
