8 Therefore do not thou shame the witnessing of our Lord Jesus Christ, neither me, his prisoner; but travail thou together in the gospel by the virtue of God;

9 that delivered us, and called with his holy calling, not after our works, but by his purpose and grace, that is given [to us] in Christ Jesus before worldly times;

10 but now it is open by the lightening of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which destroyed death, and lightened life and uncorruption by the gospel.
