You are precious to God.
You must fight for the faith.
A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, 3rd ed.
(ἐπαγωνίζομαι)
ἐπαγωνίζομαι - to struggle - to contend strenuously n defence of
under attack and in need of defense.
Although the NT documents had not yet been collected into a complete canon of Scripture, by this time the foundational NT teachings were circulating in oral form through the apostolic circles.
In addition, some NT documents had already begun to circulate among the churches (cf.
Col. 4:16; also The Canon of the New Testament).
A further implication of this verse is that, after the writings authorized by the apostles were included in the NT canon, nothing more could ever be added to Scripture, since the content of the faith had been delivered “once for all.”
This is at odds with the teachings of other religions such as Mormonism and Islam, which hold that the NT writings existing today contain corrupted teachings, and that additional authoritative teachings came from God later
It is the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments.
The faith is what the scriptures call us to believe.
Once for all time!
