2 Timothy 2

Be Strong

1You thereforeG3767, my 12sonG5043, 3be strongG1743 in the graceG5485 that is in 4ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 2The things 5whichG3739 you have heardG191 from me in the presenceG1223 of 6manyG4183 witnessesG3144, 7entrustG3908 theseG3778 to 8faithfulG4103 menG444 whoG3748 will be 9ableG2425 to teachG1321 othersG2087 alsoG2532. 310SufferG4777 hardshipG4777 with me, as a goodG2570 11soldierG4757 of 12ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 4NoG3762 soldierG4754 in activeG4754 serviceG4754 13entanglesG1707 himself in the affairsG4230 of everydayG979 lifeG979, soG2443 that he may pleaseG700 the one who enlistedG4758 him as a soldierG4758. 5AlsoG2532 ifG1437 anyoneG5100 14competesG118 as an athleteG118, he 15does not winG4737 the prizeG4737 unlessG1437G3361 he competesG118 according to the rulesG3545. 616The hard-workingG2872 farmerG1092 oughtG1163 to be the firstG4413 to receiveG3335 his shareG3335 of the cropsG2590. 7ConsiderG3539 whatG3739 I sayG3004, for the LordG2962 will giveG1325 you understandingG4907 in everythingG3956.

8RememberG3421 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 17risenG1453 from the deadG3498, 18descendantG4690 of DavidG1160, 19accordingG2596 to my gospelG2098, 920for whichG3739 I 21sufferG2553 hardshipG2553 evenG3360 to 22imprisonmentG1199 as a 23criminalG2557; but 24the wordG3056 of GodG2316 25is not imprisonedG1210. 10For thisG3778 reasonG1223 26I endureG5278 allG3956 thingsG3956 for 27the sakeG1223 of thoseG3588 who are chosenG1588, 28soG2443 that they alsoG2532 may obtainG5177 the 29salvationG4991 which is in 30ChristG5547 JesusG2424 and with it 31eternalG166 gloryG1391. 1132It is a trustworthyG4103 statementG3056: For 33ifG1487 we diedG4880 with Him, we will alsoG2532 liveG4800 with Him;12IfG1487 we endureG5278, 34we will alsoG2532 reignG4821 with Him; IfG1487 we 3536denyG720 Him, He alsoG2548 will denyG720 us;13IfG1487 we are faithlessG569, 37He remainsG3306 faithfulG4103, for 38He cannotG1410G3756 denyG720 HimselfG1438.

An Unashamed Workman

14RemindG5279 them of theseG3778 thingsG3778, and solemnlyG1263 39chargeG1263 them in the presenceG1799 of GodG2316 not to 40wrangleG3054 aboutG3054 wordsG3054, which is uselessG3762G5539 and leads to the ruinG2692 of the hearersG191. 15Be diligentG4704 to 41presentG3936 yourselfG4572 approvedG1384 to GodG2316 as a workmanG2040 who does not needG422 to be ashamedG422, accuratelyG3718 handlingG3718 42the wordG3056 of truthG225. 16But 43avoidG4026 44worldlyG952 and emptyG2757 chatterG2757, for 45it will leadG4298 to furtherG4183 ungodlinessG763, 17and their 46talkG3056 will spreadG3542 likeG5613 47gangreneG1044. Among them are 48HymenaeusG5211 and PhiletusG5372, 18men whoG3748 have goneG795 astrayG795 from the truthG225 sayingG3004 that 49the resurrectionG386 has alreadyG2235 takenG1096 placeG1096, and they upsetG396 50the faithG4102 of someG5100. 19NeverthelessG3305, the 51firmG4731 foundationG2310 of GodG2316 standsG2476, havingG2192 thisG3778 52sealG4973, “53The LordG2962 knowsG1097 thoseG3588 who are His,” and, “54EveryoneG3956 who namesG3687 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 is to abstainG868 from wickednessG93.”

20NowG1161 in a largeG3173 houseG3614 there are not onlyG3440 goldG5552 and silverG693 vesselsG4632, but alsoG2532 vessels of woodG3585 and of earthenwareG3749, and 55someG3739 to honorG5092 and someG3739 to dishonorG819. 21ThereforeG3767, ifG1437 anyoneG5100 cleansesG1571 himselfG1438 from 56theseG3778 things, he will be a vesselG4632 for honorG5092, sanctifiedG37, usefulG2173 to the MasterG1203, 57preparedG2090 for everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041. 22NowG1161 58fleeG5343 from youthfulG3512 lustsG1939 and pursueG1377 righteousnessG1343, 59faithG4102, loveG26 and peaceG1515, with thoseG3588 who 60callG1941 on the LordG2962 61from a pureG2513 heartG2588. 23But refuseG3868 foolishG3474 and ignorantG521 62speculationsG2214, knowingG3609 that they 63produceG1080 64quarrelsG3163. 2465The Lord’sG2962 bond-servantG1401 mustG1163 not be quarrelsomeG3164, but be kindG2261 to allG3956, 66ableG1317 to teachG1317, patientG420 whenG420 wrongedG420, 2567with gentlenessG4240 correctingG3811 thoseG3588 who are in oppositionG475, 68ifG3379 perhapsG3379 GodG2316 may grantG1325 them repentanceG3341 leadingG1519 to 69the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225, 26and they may comeG366 to their sensesG366 and escape from 70the snareG3803 of the devilG1228, having been 71heldG2221 captiveG2221 72by him to do his willG2307.
