2 Timothy 2
<p class="default">2 Timothy 2 
 
- Thou therefore,  <b>my son</b> , be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 
 <b> 2. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.</b> 
- Thou therefore  <b>endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.</b> 
- No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 
- And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 
- The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 
- Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 
- Remember that Jesus Christ of the <b>seed of David </b>was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 
- Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. 
- Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 
 11. It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 
- If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 
  <b>13. If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.</b> 
- Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 
  <b>15. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.</b> 
- But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 
- And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is  <b>Hymenaeus and Philetus</b> ; 
- Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. 
- Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 
- But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 
- If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. 
- Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 
- But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 
  <b>24. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,</b> 
- In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 
- And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.  </p>
