2 Timothy 2:1-15

1You thereforeG3767, my 1 2sonG5043, 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. 3 10SufferG4777 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 unlessG1437 G3361 he competesG118 according to the rulesG3545. 6 16The 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, 9 20for 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. 11 32It 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 35 36denyG720 Him, He alsoG2548 will denyG720 us;13IfG1487 we are faithlessG569, 37He remainsG3306 faithfulG4103, for 38He cannotG1410 G3756 denyG720 HimselfG1438.

14RemindG5279 them of theseG3778 thingsG3778, and solemnlyG1263 39chargeG1263 them in the presenceG1799 of GodG2316 not to 40wrangleG3054 aboutG3054 wordsG3054, which is uselessG3762 G5539 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.
