2 Timothy 2:11-26

111The statementG3056 is trustworthyG4103: For 2ifG1487 we diedG4880 with Him, we will alsoG2532 liveG4800 with Him;12IfG1487 we endureG5278, 3we will alsoG2532 reignG4821 with Him; IfG1487 we 45denyG720 Him, He will alsoG2548 denyG720 us;13IfG1487 we are faithlessG569, 6He remainsG3306 faithfulG4103, for 7He cannotG1410G3756 denyG720 HimselfG1438.

14RemindG5279 them of theseG3778 thingsG3778, and solemnlyG1263 8exhortG1263 them inG1799 theG1799 presenceG1799 ofG1799 GodG2316 not to 9disputeG3054 aboutG3054 wordsG3054, which is uselessG3762G5539 and leads to the ruinG2692 of the listenersG191. 15Be diligentG4704 to 10presentG3936 yourselfG4572 approvedG1384 to GodG2316 as a workerG2040 who 11doesG422 notG422 needG422 toG422 beG422 ashamedG422, accuratelyG3718 handlingG3718 12the wordG3056 of truthG225. 16But 13avoidG4026 14worldlyG952 and emptyG2757 chatterG2757, for 15it will leadG4298 to furtherG4183 ungodlinessG763, 17and their 16talkG3056 will spreadG3542 likeG5613 17gangreneG1044. Among them are 18HymenaeusG5211 and PhiletusG5372, 18men whoG3748 have goneG795 astrayG795 from the truthG225, claimingG3004 that 19the resurrectionG386 has alreadyG2235 takenG1096 placeG1096; and they areG396 jeopardizingG396 20the faithG4102 of someG5100. 19NeverthelessG3305, the 21firmG4731 foundationG2310 of GodG2316 standsG2476, havingG2192 thisG3778 22sealG4973: “23The LordG2962 knowsG1097 thoseG3588 who are His;” and, “24EveryoneG3956 who namesG3687 the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 is to keepG868 awayG868 from wickednessG93.”

20NowG1161 in a largeG3173 houseG3614 there are not onlyG3440 goldG5552 and silverG693 implementsG4632, but alsoG2532 implements of woodG3585 and of earthenwareG3749, and 25someG3739 are for honorG5092 while othersG3739 are for dishonorG819. 21ThereforeG3767, ifG1437 anyoneG5100 cleansesG1571 himselfG1438 from 26theseG3778 things, he will be an implementG4632 for honorG5092, sanctifiedG37, usefulG2173 to the MasterG1203, 27preparedG2090 for everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041. 22NowG1161 28fleeG5343 from youthfulG3512 lustsG1939 and pursueG1377 righteousnessG1343, 29faithG4102, loveG26, and peaceG1515 with thoseG3588 who 30callG1941 onG1941 the LordG2962 31from a pureG2513 heartG2588. 23But refuseG3868 foolishG3474 and ignorantG521 32speculationsG2214, knowingG3609 that they 33produceG1080 34quarrelsG3163. 2435The Lord’sG2962 bond-servantG1401 mustG1163 not be quarrelsomeG3164, but be kindG2261 to allG3956, 36skillfulG1317 inG1317 teachingG1317, patientG420 whenG420 wrongedG420, 2537with gentlenessG4240 correctingG3811 thoseG3588 who are in oppositionG475, 38ifG3379 perhapsG3379 GodG2316 may grantG1325 them repentanceG3341 leadingG1519 to 39the knowledgeG1922 of the truthG225, 26and they may comeG366 toG366 their sensesG366 and escape from 40the snareG3803 of the devilG1228, having been 41heldG2221 captiveG2221 42by him to do his willG2307.
