2 Timothy 2:11-26

11FaithfulG4103 is the sayingG3056: For if we diedG4880 with him, we shall alsoG2532 liveG4800 with him: 12if we endureG5278, we shall alsoG2532 reignG4821 with him: if we shall denyG720 him, he alsoG2532 will denyG720 us: 13if we are faithless, he abideth faithfulG4103; for he cannot denyG720 himself.

14Of these thingsG3778 put them in remembranceG5279, charging them in the sight of the LordG2962, that they strive not about words, to no profit, to the subverting of them that hearG191. 15Give diligence to presentG3936 thyself approved unto GodG2316, a workmanG2040 that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the wordG3056 of truthG225. 16But shun profaneG952 babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodlinessG763, 17and their wordG3056 will eat as doth a gangrene: of whom isG1510 Hymenæus and Philetus; 18men who concerningG4012 the truthG225 have erred, sayingG3004 that the resurrectionG386 is past alreadyG2235, and overthrow the faithG4102 of some. 19Howbeit the firmG2476 foundationG2310 of GodG2316 standeth, having this sealG4973, The LordG2962 knoweth them that areG1510 his: and, Let every oneG3778 that nameth the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 departG868 from unrighteousnessG93. 20NowG1161 in a greatG3173 houseG3614 there areG1510 not onlyG3440 vesselsG4632 of gold and of silverG693, but alsoG2532 of wood and of earth; and some unto honorG5092, and some unto dishonorG819. 21If a manG3778 thereforeG3767 purge himself from these, he shall beG1510 a vesselG4632 unto honorG5092, sanctifiedG37, meet for the master’s use, preparedG2090 unto every goodG18 workG2041. 22But fleeG5343 youthful lustsG1939, and follow after righteousnessG1343, faithG4102, loveG26, peaceG1515, with them that callG1941 on the LordG2962 out of a pureG2513 heartG2588. 23But foolishG3474 and ignorant questionings refuseG3868, knowing that they gender strifes. 24And the Lord’s servantG1401 must not strive, but beG1510 gentle towards all, apt to teachG1317, forbearing, 25in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure GodG2316 may giveG1325 them repentanceG3341 unto the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225, 26and they may recover themselves out of the snareG3803 of the devilG1228, having been taken captive by him unto his will.
