2 Timothy 2:10-19

10For thisG3778 reasonG1223 1I endureG5278 allG3956 thingsG3956 for 2the sakeG1223 of thoseG3588 who are chosenG1588, 3soG2443 that they alsoG2532 may obtainG5177 the 4salvationG4991 which is in 5ChristG5547 JesusG2424 and with it 6eternalG166 gloryG1391. 117It is a trustworthyG4103 statementG3056: For 8ifG1487 we diedG4880 with Him, we will alsoG2532 liveG4800 with Him;12IfG1487 we endureG5278, 9we will alsoG2532 reignG4821 with Him; IfG1487 we 1011denyG720 Him, He alsoG2548 will denyG720 us;13IfG1487 we are faithlessG569, 12He remainsG3306 faithfulG4103, for 13He cannotG1410G3756 denyG720 HimselfG1438.

14RemindG5279 them of theseG3778 thingsG3778, and solemnlyG1263 14chargeG1263 them in the presenceG1799 of GodG2316 not to 15wrangleG3054 aboutG3054 wordsG3054, which is uselessG3762G5539 and leads to the ruinG2692 of the hearersG191. 15Be diligentG4704 to 16presentG3936 yourselfG4572 approvedG1384 to GodG2316 as a workmanG2040 who does not needG422 to be ashamedG422, accuratelyG3718 handlingG3718 17the wordG3056 of truthG225. 16But 18avoidG4026 19worldlyG952 and emptyG2757 chatterG2757, for 20it will leadG4298 to furtherG4183 ungodlinessG763, 17and their 21talkG3056 will spreadG3542 likeG5613 22gangreneG1044. Among them are 23HymenaeusG5211 and PhiletusG5372, 18men whoG3748 have goneG795 astrayG795 from the truthG225 sayingG3004 that 24the resurrectionG386 has alreadyG2235 takenG1096 placeG1096, and they upsetG396 25the faithG4102 of someG5100. 19NeverthelessG3305, the 26firmG4731 foundationG2310 of GodG2316 standsG2476, havingG2192 thisG3778 27sealG4973, “28The LordG2962 knowsG1097 thoseG3588 who are His,” and, “29EveryoneG3956 who namesG3687 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 is to abstainG868 from wickednessG93.”
