therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that `
is '
in Christ Jesus ,
And the things that you
have
heard
me say
among
many witnesses, entrust
these to faithful
men who will
be qualified
to teach others
as
well.
and the things that thou
didst
hear
from
me through
many witnesses, these things
be
committing
to stedfast
men ,
who shall
be sufficient
also
others
to teach ;
Join
me
in
suffering

a good soldier of Christ
Jesus .
thou
, therefore,
suffer
evil
as
a good soldier of Jesus Christ;
A soldier refrains
from
entangling
himself in
civilian
affairs, in
order
to
please
the
one
who enlisted
him .
no
one
serving
as
a soldier did
entangle
himself with
the
affairs of
life
, that
him
who did
enlist
him he
may
please;
Likewise
, a
competitor
does
not receive
the
crown
unless
he competes
according
to
the
rules.
and
if
also
any
one
may
strive
, he
is
not crowned,
except
he may
strive
lawfully;
The hardworking
farmer
should
be
the
first to
partake
of the crops.
the labouring
husbandman
it
behoveth
first of the fruits
to
partake;
Consider
what I am
saying
, for the Lord will
give you
insight
into
all things.
be
considering
what things
I say
, for the Lord give to
thee
understanding
in
all things.
Remember Jesus Christ, raised from
the dead, descended
from
David, as
proclaimed
by
my gospel
,
Remember Jesus Christ, raised out
of
the dead, of
the
seed
of
David, according
to
my good
news
,
for
which I suffer to
the
extent
of
being
chained
like
a
criminal.
But the word of God cannot
be
chained!
in
which I suffer evil
--
unto
bonds,
as
an
evil-doer,
but the word of God hath
not
been
bound;
For
this reason
I
endure
all things for
the
sake
of the elect
, so
that they too
may obtain the
salvation
that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal
glory.
because
of
this all things do
I
endure,
because
of the choice
ones
, that they also
salvation
may obtain that `
is '
in Christ Jesus, with glory age-during
.
This
is a
trustworthy
saying
: If we died with
Him,
we will
also live with
Him
;
Stedfast
`
is '
the
word
: For
if we died together
--
we also shall
live together
;
if we endure ,
we will
also reign with
Him
; if we deny Him, He will
also deny us;
if we do
endure together
--
we shall
also reign together
; if we deny `
him '
, he also shall
deny us;
if we are faithless,
He
remains
faithful
, for
He cannot
deny Himself.
if we are not
stedfast
, he remaineth
stedfast;
to
deny himself he
is
not
able
.
Remind
the
believers
of
these things ,
charging
them before God
to avoid
quarreling
over
words, which
succeeds
only
in
leading
the
listeners
to ruin.
These things remind
`
them '
of,
testifying
fully
before the
Lord
--
not
to strive
about
words to
nothing
profitable
, but
to the
subversion
of
those
hearing;
Make
every
effort
to present yourself
approved to God ,
an
unashamed
workman who
accurately
handles
the word of truth .
be
diligent
to present thyself
approved to God --
a
workman irreproachable,
rightly
dividing
the word of the
truth ;
But
avoid
irreverent,
empty
chatter
, which
will
only
lead
to more ungodliness
,
and
the
profane
vain
talkings
stand
aloof
from
, for
to more impiety
they
will
advance
,
and the
talk
of
such
men
will
spread
like
gangrene .
Among
them
are
Hymenaeus and Philetus,
and their
word
as
a
gangrene will
have
pasture,
of
whom
is
Hymenaeus and Philetus,
who have
deviated
from
the truth .
They
say
that
the resurrection
has
already occurred
, and they
undermine
the faith of some .
who concerning
the truth did
swerve,
saying
the rising
again
to
have
already been
, and do
overthrow
the faith of some ;
Nevertheless, God’s
firm
foundation stands
, bearing
this seal :
“
The Lord knows
those who are His, ”
and ,
“Everyone
who calls
on
the name of the
Lord
must
turn
away
from
iniquity
. ”
sure,
nevertheless, hath
the
foundation of
God
stood
, having
this seal ,
`
The Lord hath
known
those who are His, '
and `Let
him
depart
from
unrighteousness
--
every
one
who is
naming
the name of Christ
. '
A large
house contains
not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay.
Some indeed
are
for
honorable
use
, but
others
are
for
common
use.
And
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:
So
if anyone
cleanses
himself of
what
is
unfit
, he will
be a vessel for
honor:
sanctified
, useful
to the Master ,
and
prepared
for
every good work .
if ,
then,
any
one
may
cleanse
himself from
these
, he shall
be a vessel to
honour
, sanctified
and
profitable
to the master --
to
every good work having
been
prepared,
Flee
from
youthful passions
and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and
peace, together
with those who
call
on
the Lord out of a pure heart .
and
the
youthful lusts
flee
thou,
and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling
upon
the Lord out of a pure heart ;
But
reject
foolish and ignorant
speculation
, for
you
know
that it
breeds
quarreling.
and
the
foolish and uninstructed
questions
be
avoiding
, having
known
that they
beget
strife,
And a servant of the Lord must
not be
quarrelsome
, but must
be
kind
to everyone
, able
to teach, and
forbearing.
and a servant of the Lord it
behoveth
not to
strive
, but to be
gentle
unto
all
, apt
to teach, patient
under
evil,
He
must
gently
reprove
those
who
oppose
him,
in the
hope
that
God may grant
them repentance leading
to a
knowledge
of the truth .
in meekness
instructing
those
opposing
--
if
perhaps
God may give
to
them repentance to an
acknowledging
of the truth ,
Then
they
will
come
to
their
senses
and escape
the
snare
of the devil
, who
has
taken
them
captive
to
his will.
and they
may
awake
out
of the devil's
snare
, having
been
caught
by
him
at
his will.
