2 Timothy 2:1-15
1You thereforeG3767, my 12sonG5043, 3beG1743 strongG1743 in the graceG5485 that is in 4ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 2The things 5whichG3739 you have heardG191 from me inG1223 theG1223 presenceG1223 ofG1223 6manyG4183 witnessesG3144, 7entrustG3908 theseG3778 to 8faithfulG4103 9peopleG444 whoG3748 will be 10ableG2425 to teachG1321 othersG2087 alsoG2532. 311SufferG4777 hardshipG4777 withG4777 me, as a goodG2570 12soldierG4757 of 13ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 4NoG3762 soldierG4754 inG4754 activeG4754 serviceG4754 14entanglesG1707 himself inG1707 the affairsG4230 of everydayG979 lifeG979, soG2443 thatG2443 he may pleaseG700 the one who enlistedG4758 him. 5And ifG1437 someoneG5100 likewiseG2532 15competesG118 asG118 anG118 athleteG118, he is not 16crownedG4737 as victor unlessG1437G3361 he competesG118 accordingG3545 toG3545 theG3545 rulesG3545. 617The 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, 18risenG1453 from the deadG3498, 19descendantG4690 of DavidG1160, 20accordingG2596 to my gospelG2098, 921for whichG3739 I 22sufferG2553 hardshipG2553 evenG3360 to 23imprisonmentG1199 as a 24criminalG2557; but 25the wordG3056 of GodG2316 26is not imprisonedG1210. 10For thisG3778 reasonG1223 27I endureG5278 allG3956 thingsG3956 for 28the sakeG1223 of 29thoseG3588 who are chosenG1588, 30soG2443 thatG2443 they alsoG2532 may obtainG5177 the 31salvationG4991 which is in 32ChristG5547 JesusG2424 and with it 33eternalG166 gloryG1391. 1134The statementG3056 is trustworthyG4103: For 35ifG1487 we diedG4880 with Him, we will alsoG2532 liveG4800 with Him;12IfG1487 we endureG5278, 36we will alsoG2532 reignG4821 with Him; IfG1487 we 3738denyG720 Him, He will alsoG2548 denyG720 us;13IfG1487 we are faithlessG569, 39He remainsG3306 faithfulG4103, for 40He cannotG1410G3756 denyG720 HimselfG1438.
14RemindG5279 them of theseG3778 thingsG3778, and solemnlyG1263 41exhortG1263 them inG1799 theG1799 presenceG1799 ofG1799 GodG2316 not to 42disputeG3054 aboutG3054 wordsG3054, which is uselessG3762G5539 and leads to the ruinG2692 of the listenersG191. 15Be diligentG4704 to 43presentG3936 yourselfG4572 approvedG1384 to GodG2316 as a workerG2040 who 44doesG422 notG422 needG422 toG422 beG422 ashamedG422, accuratelyG3718 handlingG3718 45the wordG3056 of truthG225.
