{I have fought the good fight} (	on kalon ag(936e)a (8867)(936e)ismai).
Perfect middle indicative of ag(936e)izomai, a favourite figure
with Paul ( 1Co 9:25  Col 1:29 ), with the cognate accusative
ag(936e)a ( Php 1:27,30 , etc.). The "fight" is the athletic
contest of his struggle for Christ. {I have finished the course}
(	on dromon teteleka). Perfect active indicative of 	ele(935c). He
had used this metaphor also of himself to the elders at Ephesus
( Ac 20:24 ). Then the "course" was ahead of him. Now it is
behind him. {I have kept the faith} (	(886e) pistin tet(8872)(886b)a).
Perfect active indicative again of 	(8872)e(935c). Paul has not
deserted. He has kept faith with Christ. For this phrase, see  Re
14:12 . Deissmann (_Light, etc._, p. 309) gives inscriptions in
Ephesus of a man who says: "I have kept faith" (	(886e) pistin
et(8872)(8873)a) and another of a man of whom it is said: "He fought
three fights, and twice was crowned."
