1 TIMOTHY 6:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses — the martial metaphor (agōnizomai) frames Timothy's ministry as spiritual combat. His call (klēsis) to eternal zōē (life) finds expression in the homologia (confession) publicly witnessed. Perseverance honors his initial commitment.
