2 Timothy 4:7 In the Greek the construction doesn't emphasis the "I". The good fight I have fought, the course I have finished, the faith I have kept. [Not an emphaic "I" in this statement.] Finished = perf act. ind. of telew to finish, to comple, to arrive at the goal. The course = a race course, to Paul, the race of life is meant. Kept = the expression indicates "to remain faith or true." To guard, and protect. The faith = all are objective, the faith is the body of teaching delivered to him by Christ to preach to the Gentiles.
