2 Timothy4:7
7 I have fought the good fight , I have finished my course , I have kept the faith.
My Life hath been a Military Life, but I have not fought the evil fights of ambitious or quarrelsome men: My fighting hath been the good and noble fight of Faith, a fight with the World, the Flesh and the Devil, a contending for the Faith delivered to the Saints, a maintaining the lustings of the Spirit against the Flesh, a warring with Spiritual wickednesses in high places.
God appointed me a race to run, as a Christian, as an Apostle and Minister of Christ: I have now finished it.
I have kept the Doctrine of Faith, upholding and maintaining it, in and by my Ministry, and I have lived in the exercise of the Grace of Faith.
