2 Timothy 2:12-26

12IfG1487 we endureG5278, 1we will alsoG2532 reignG4821 with Him; IfG1487 we 23denyG720 Him, He alsoG2548 will denyG720 us;13IfG1487 we are faithlessG569, 4He remainsG3306 faithfulG4103, for 5He cannotG1410G3756 denyG720 HimselfG1438.

14RemindG5279 them of theseG3778 thingsG3778, and solemnlyG1263 6chargeG1263 them in the presenceG1799 of GodG2316 not to 7wrangleG3054 aboutG3054 wordsG3054, which is uselessG3762G5539 and leads to the ruinG2692 of the hearersG191. 15Be diligentG4704 to 8presentG3936 yourselfG4572 approvedG1384 to GodG2316 as a workmanG2040 who does not needG422 to be ashamedG422, accuratelyG3718 handlingG3718 9the wordG3056 of truthG225. 16But 10avoidG4026 11worldlyG952 and emptyG2757 chatterG2757, for 12it will leadG4298 to furtherG4183 ungodlinessG763, 17and their 13talkG3056 will spreadG3542 likeG5613 14gangreneG1044. Among them are 15HymenaeusG5211 and PhiletusG5372, 18men whoG3748 have goneG795 astrayG795 from the truthG225 sayingG3004 that 16the resurrectionG386 has alreadyG2235 takenG1096 placeG1096, and they upsetG396 17the faithG4102 of someG5100. 19NeverthelessG3305, the 18firmG4731 foundationG2310 of GodG2316 standsG2476, havingG2192 thisG3778 19sealG4973, “20The LordG2962 knowsG1097 thoseG3588 who are His,” and, “21EveryoneG3956 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 22someG3739 to honorG5092 and someG3739 to dishonorG819. 21ThereforeG3767, ifG1437 anyoneG5100 cleansesG1571 himselfG1438 from 23theseG3778 things, he will be a vesselG4632 for honorG5092, sanctifiedG37, usefulG2173 to the MasterG1203, 24preparedG2090 for everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041. 22NowG1161 25fleeG5343 from youthfulG3512 lustsG1939 and pursueG1377 righteousnessG1343, 26faithG4102, loveG26 and peaceG1515, with thoseG3588 who 27callG1941 on the LordG2962 28from a pureG2513 heartG2588. 23But refuseG3868 foolishG3474 and ignorantG521 29speculationsG2214, knowingG3609 that they 30produceG1080 31quarrelsG3163. 2432The Lord’sG2962 bond-servantG1401 mustG1163 not be quarrelsomeG3164, but be kindG2261 to allG3956, 33ableG1317 to teachG1317, patientG420 whenG420 wrongedG420, 2534with gentlenessG4240 correctingG3811 thoseG3588 who are in oppositionG475, 35ifG3379 perhapsG3379 GodG2316 may grantG1325 them repentanceG3341 leadingG1519 to 36the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225, 26and they may comeG366 to their sensesG366 and escape from 37the snareG3803 of the devilG1228, having been 38heldG2221 captiveG2221 39by him to do his willG2307.
