Instead, you must pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness,[a]

12 Fight the good fight for the faith.
Keep holding on to eternal life, to which you were called
and about which you gave a good testimony
in front of many witnesses.
13 Since you are[b] in the presence of God, who gives life to everything, and in the presence of the Messiah[c] Jesus, who gave a good testimony before Pontius Pilate, I solemnly charge you
