Guard What Is True

[10] For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: [11] Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. [12] One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. [13] This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; [14] Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. [15] Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. [16] They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

• Gospel

Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

• War

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

• Anointing
• Character
• Illuminating

But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
