Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.
and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses: The word "professed" (omologesas) means to assent, acknowledge, or declare openly. The reference is probably to his baptism and confession of faith. Profession is what we profess and hold with all diligence (Hebrews 4:14). This declaration is described as good because it is excellent and contains the truth that makes salvation possible.
