|
\v 1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
|
|||
|
|
\v 2 And the things you heard from me among many witnesses, entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others also.
|
|||

\s5
|
|||
|
|
\v 3 Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
|
|||
|
|
\v 4 No soldier serves while entangled in the affairs of this life, so that he may please his superior officer.
|
|||
|
|
\v 5 Also, if someone competes as an athlete, he is not crowned unless he competes by the rules.
|

|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\v 6 The hardworking farmer must receive his share of the crops first.
|
|||
|
|
\v 7 Think about what I am saying, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\v 8 Remember Jesus Christ, from David's family line, who was raised from the dead, according to my gospel message,
|
|||
|
|
\v 9 by which I suffer to the point of being chained as a criminal. But the word of God is not chained.
|
|||
|
|
\v 10 Therefore I endure all things for those who are chosen, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
|
|||

\s5
|

|
|
\v 11 Trustworthy is this saying:
|
|||
|
|
\q "If we have died with him, we will also live with him.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 12 If we endure, we will also reign with him.
|
|||
|
|
\q If we deny him, he also will deny us.
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
\v 13 if we are unfaithful, he remains faithful,
|
|||
|
|
\q
|
|||
|
|
for he cannot deny himself."

|

|
|
\v 14 Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God not to quarrel about words, because doing so profits nothing, ruining those who listen.
|
|||
|
|
\v 15 Do your best to present yourself approved to God as a workman without shame, handling correctly the word of truth.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\v 16 Avoid profane talk, which leads to more and more godlessness.
|
|||
|
|
\v 17 Their word will spread like gangrene, among whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
|
|||
|
|
\v 18 men who have wandered from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already happened and upsetting the faith of some.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\v 19 However, the firm foundation of God stands, having this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his" and "Everyone who names the name of the Lord must depart from unrighteousness."
|
|||
|
|
\v 20 In a wealthy home are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use and some for dishonorable.
|
|||
|
|
\v 21 If someone cleans himself from dishonorable use, he is an honorable vessel, consecrated, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\v 22 Flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with them who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
|
|||
|
|
\v 23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questions, knowing they cause arguments.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
\s5
|
|||
|
|
\v 24 The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but instead he must be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,
|
|||
|
|
\v 25 in meekness educating those who oppose him. God may perhaps give them repentance for the knowledge of the truth,
|
|||
|
|
\v 26 and they may regain their senses out of the trap of the devil, having been captured by him for his will.
