2 Timothy 2:1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. When Wingfield expressed his pity for Kirby, who was condemned to die for the truth, the undaunted martyr replied, "Fire, water, and sword are in His hands, who will not suffer them to separate me from Him." Here was power from on high perfected in human weakness. Nor was it less manifested in another who exclaimed, "If every hair on my head were a man, they should suffer death in the faith in which I now stand." It was in the exhaustion of age, and after long imprisonment, hardship, and ill treatment, that Latimer, when brought out to be burnt at Oxford, lifted his wrinkled hands towards heaven, and cried, "O God, I thank Thee that Thou hast reserved me to die this death." (C. Graham.) 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. |
