First Tim. δ΄ 9-15
"Son Timothy, the word is faithful and worthy of all acceptance; for in this we labor and are ashamed, that we hope in the living God, who is the savior of all men, even believers. Order this and teach. I scorn your ignorance of youth, but a type of being of the faithful in the word, in reverse, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. As I come, pay attention to your reading, at his request, the teaching. Do not neglect your gift, which was given to you by prophecy after the attack of the hands of the presbytery. This study, however same, so that your foreboding may be manifest in all".

Love of Uncle Timothy crowns,
Woven husks dyed the earth with blood.
Memory of the Holy Martyr Anastasios of Persia
Anastasios in the neck of the noose,
As a brilliant hormone it is beautified feron.

But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord: Behold the half of what I have., Sir, twin to the poor, And who knows what I lied about, I will repay you fourfold. Jesus said to him that today salvation has come to this house., since he is also the son of Abraham; 10 For the son of man came to seek and save the lost.
