2 Timothy 2:1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Luther relates concerning one Staupicius, a German divine, that he acknowledged that before he came to understand the free and powerful grace of Christ, he resolved and vowed a hundred times against a particular sin; yet could never get power over it, nor his heart purified from it, till he came to see that he trusted too much to his own resolutions, and too little to Jesus Christ; but when his faith had engaged against his sin, he obtained the victory. (J. L. Nye.) Parallel Verses KJV: Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.WEB: You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. |
