In his second letter to his young companion Timothy, Paul wrote: “You have closely followed my teaching, my course of life, my purpose, my faith, my long - suffering, my love, my endurance, my persecutions, my sufferings. ”
Teises kirjas noorele kaaslasele Timoteosele kirjutas Paulus: „Sina oled hoolega mind järginud mu õpetuses, eluviisis, eesmärgis, usus, kannatlikkuses, armastuses, vastupidavuses, tagakiusamistes, kannatustes. ”
