Zeal in Defence of the Gospel
Scripture
KJV
—exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
ESV
Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.
Jude 3
Poem
In conquests of thy might,
May I loyally delight:
In thy ever-spreading reign,
Triumph as my greatest gain;
Make me conscious by this sign,
Gracious Saviour, I am thine.
