2 Timothy 2

1ThouG4771 thereforeG3767, myG1473 sonG5043, be strongG1743 inG1722 the graceG3588G5485 that isG3588 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 2AndG2532 the things thatG3739 thou hast heardG191 ofG3844 meG1473 amongG1223 manyG4183 witnessesG3144, the sameG3778 commit thouG3908 to faithfulG4103 menG444, whoG3748 shall beG1510 able toG2425 teachG1321 othersG2087 alsoG2532. 3ThouG4771 thereforeG3767 endure hardnessG2553, asG5613 a goodG2570 soldierG4757 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 4No manG3762 that warrethG4754 entangleth himselfG1707 with the affairs ofG4230 this lifeG3588G979; thatG2443 he may pleaseG700 him who hath chosen him to be a soldierG3588G4758. 5AndG1161 ifG1437 a manG5100 alsoG2532 strive for masteriesG118, yet is heG4737 notG3756 crownedG4737, exceptG3361 he striveG118 lawfullyG3545. 6The husbandmanG3588G1092 that labourethG2872 mustG1163 beG3335 firstG4412 partakerG3335 of the fruitsG3588G2590. 7ConsiderG3539 whatG3739 I sayG3004; andG1063 the LordG3588G2962 giveG1325 theeG4771 understandingG4907 inG1722 all thingsG3956. 8RememberG3421 thatG1453 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ofG1537 the seedG4690 of DavidG1138 was raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498 according toG2596 myG1473 gospelG3588G2098: 9WhereinG1722G3739 I suffer troubleG2553, asG5613 an evil doerG2557, even untoG3360 bondsG1199; butG235 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316 isG1210 notG3756 boundG1210. 10ThereforeG1223 I endureG5278 all thingsG3956 forG1223 the elect’sG1588 sakesG1223, thatG2443 theyG846 mayG5177 alsoG2532 obtainG5177 the salvationG4991 which isG3588 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 withG3326 eternalG166 gloryG1391. 11It is a faithfulG4103 sayingG3588G3056: ForG1063 ifG1487 we be dead withG4880 him, we shallG4800 alsoG2532 live withG4800 him: 12IfG1487 we sufferG5278, we shallG4821 alsoG2532 reign withG4821 him: ifG1487 we denyG720 him, he alsoG2548 will denyG720 usG1473: 13IfG1487 we believe notG569, yet heG1565 abidethG3306 faithfulG4103: he cannotG3756G1410 denyG720 himselfG1438. 14Of these thingsG3778 putG5279 them in remembranceG5279, chargingG1263 them beforeG1799 the LordG3588G2962 that they striveG3054 notG3361 about wordsG3054 toG1519 noG3762 profitG5539, but toG1909 the subvertingG2692 of the hearersG191.

15StudyG4704 to shewG3936 thyselfG4572 approvedG1384 unto GodG3588G2316, a workmanG2040 that needeth not to be ashamedG422, rightly dividingG3718 the wordG3588G3056 of truthG3588G225. 16ButG1161 shunG4026 profaneG952 and vain babblingsG2757: forG1063 they will increaseG4298 untoG1909 moreG4119 ungodlinessG763.

17AndG2532 theirG846 wordG3588G3056 willG2192 eatG3542 as dothG5613 a cankerG1044: of whomG3739 isG1510 HymenaeusG5211 andG2532 PhiletusG5372; 18WhoG3748 concerningG4012 the truthG3588G225 have erredG795, sayingG3004 thatG1096 the resurrectionG3588G386 is pastG1096 alreadyG2235; andG2532 overthrowG396 the faithG4102 of someG5100.

19NeverthelessG3305 the foundationG3588G2310 of GodG3588G2316 standethG2476 sureG4731, havingG2192 thisG3778 sealG3588G4973, The LordG2962 knowethG1097 them that areG3588G1510 hisG846. AndG2532, LetG868 every oneG3956 that namethG3588G3687 the nameG3588G3686 of ChristG5547 departG868 fromG575 iniquityG93. 20

ButG1161 inG1722 a greatG3173 houseG3614 there areG1510 notG3756 onlyG3440 vesselsG4632 of goldG5552 andG2532 of silverG693, butG235 alsoG2532 of woodG3585 andG2532 of earthG3749; andG2532 someG3739 toG1519 honourG5092, andG1161 someG3739 toG1519 dishonourG819. 21IfG1437 a manG5100 thereforeG3767 purgeG1571 himselfG1438 fromG575 theseG3778, he shall beG1510 a vesselG4632 untoG1519 honourG5092, sanctifiedG37, andG2532 meet forG2173 the master’sG3588G1203 useG2173, and preparedG2090 untoG1519 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041. 22

FleeG5343 alsoG1161 youthfulG3512 lustsG1939: butG1161 followG1377 righteousnessG1343, faithG4102, charityG26, peaceG1515, withG3326 them that call onG1941 the LordG3588G2962 out ofG1537 a pureG2513 heartG2588. 23ButG1161 foolishG3474 andG2532 unlearnedG521 questionsG2214 avoidG3868, knowingG1492 thatG3754 they do genderG1080 strifesG3163. 24AndG1161 the servantG1401 of the LordG2962 mustG1163 notG3756 striveG3164; butG235 beG1510 gentleG2261 untoG4314 allG3956 men, apt to teachG1317, patientG420, 25InG1722 meeknessG4240 instructingG3811 those that oppose themselvesG475; ifG3379 GodG3588G2316 peradventureG3379 will giveG1325 themG846 repentanceG3341 toG1519 the acknowledgingG1922 of the truthG225; 26AndG2532 that they may recover themselvesG366 out ofG1537 the snareG3803 of the devilG1228, who are taken captiveG2221 byG5259 himG846 atG1519 hisG1565 willG2307.
