2 Timothy 2:3-15

3ThouG4771 thereforeG3767 endure hardnessG2553, asG5613 a goodG2570 soldierG4757 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 4No manG3762 that warrethG4754 entangleth himselfG1707 with the affairsG4230 of this lifeG979; thatG2443 he may pleaseG700 him who hath chosen him to be a soldierG4758. 5AndG1161 ifG1437 a manG5100 alsoG2532 strivethG118 for masteries, yet is heG4737 notG3756 crownedG4737, exceptG3362 he strivethG118 lawfullyG3545. 6The farmerG1092 that labourethG2872 must beG1163 firstG4413 partakerG3335 of the fruitsG2590.1 7ConsiderG3539 whatG3739 I sayG3004; andG1063 the LordG2962 giveG1325 theeG4671 understandingG4907 inG1722 all thingsG3956.

8RememberG3421 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ofG1537 the seedG4690 of DavidG1138 was raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498 according toG2596 myG3450 gospelG2098: 9InG1722 whichG3739 I suffer troubleG2553, asG5613 an evildoerG2557, even toG3360 bondsG1199; butG235 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 isG1210 notG3756 boundG1210. 10ThereforeG1223G5124 I endureG5278 all thingsG3956 for the sake ofG1223 the electG1588, thatG2443 theyG846 mayG5177 alsoG2532 obtainG5177 the salvationG4991 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 withG3326 eternalG166 gloryG1391. 11It is a faithfulG4103 sayingG3056: ForG1063 ifG1487 we are 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 usG2248: 13IfG1487 we believe notG569, yet heG1565 abidethG3306 faithfulG4103: he cannotG3756G1410 denyG720 himselfG1438.

14Of these thingsG5023 put them in remembranceG5279, chargingG1263 them beforeG1799 the LordG2962 that they contendG3054 notG3361 about wordsG3054 toG1519 noG3762 profitG5539, but toG1909 the subvertingG2692 of the hearersG191. 15StudyG4704 to showG3936 thyselfG4572 approvedG1384 to GodG2316, a workmanG2040 that needeth not to be ashamedG422, rightly dividingG3718 the wordG3056 of truthG225.
