2 Timothy 2:12-20

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

14RemindG5279 them of theseG3778 thingsG3778, and solemnlyG1263 6exhortG1263 them inG1799 theG1799 presenceG1799 ofG1799 GodG2316 not to 7disputeG3054 aboutG3054 wordsG3054, which is uselessG3762G5539 and leads to the ruinG2692 of the listenersG191. 15Be diligentG4704 to 8presentG3936 yourselfG4572 approvedG1384 to GodG2316 as a workerG2040 who 9doesG422 notG422 needG422 toG422 beG422 ashamedG422, accuratelyG3718 handlingG3718 10the wordG3056 of truthG225. 16But 11avoidG4026 12worldlyG952 and emptyG2757 chatterG2757, for 13it will leadG4298 to furtherG4183 ungodlinessG763, 17and their 14talkG3056 will spreadG3542 likeG5613 15gangreneG1044. Among them are 16HymenaeusG5211 and PhiletusG5372, 18men whoG3748 have goneG795 astrayG795 from the truthG225, claimingG3004 that 17the resurrectionG386 has alreadyG2235 takenG1096 placeG1096; and they areG396 jeopardizingG396 18the faithG4102 of someG5100. 19NeverthelessG3305, the 19firmG4731 foundationG2310 of GodG2316 standsG2476, havingG2192 thisG3778 20sealG4973: “21The LordG2962 knowsG1097 thoseG3588 who are His;” and, “22EveryoneG3956 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 23someG3739 are for honorG5092 while othersG3739 are for dishonorG819.
