| 2: |
1 |
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that
is in Christ Jesus. |
| 2: |
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. |
| 2: |
3 |
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier
of Jesus Christ. |
| 2: |
4 |
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. |
| 2: |
5 |
And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not
crowned, except he strive lawfully. |
| 2: |
6 |
The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker
of the fruits. |
| 2: |
7 |
Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee
understanding in all things. |
| 2: |
8 |
Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David
was raised from the dead according to my gospel: |
| 2: |
9 |
Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto
bonds; but the word of God is not bound. |
| 2: |
10 |
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. |
| 2: |
11 |
It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him,
we shall also live with him: |
| 2: |
12 |
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we
deny him, he also will deny us: |
| 2: |
13 |
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot
deny himself. |
| 2: |
14 |
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. |
| 2: |
15 |
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. |
| 2: |
16 |
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will
increase unto more ungodliness. |
| 2: |
17 |
And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom
is Hymenaeus and Philetus; |
| 2: |
18 |
Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that
the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. |
| 2: |
19 |
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. |
| 2: |
20 |
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. |
| 2: |
21 |
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. |
| 2: |
22 |
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness,
faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. |
| 2: |
23 |
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing
that they do gender strifes. |
| 2: |
24 |
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be
gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, |
| 2: |
25 |
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;
if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; |
| 2: |
26 |
And that they may recover themselves out of the
snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. |
