THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO TIMOTHY 2

Text size

1 Thou therefore my son be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus ⚑

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 ⚑

3 Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ ⚑

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 ⚑

5 And if a man also strive for masteries yet is he not crowned except he strive lawfully ⚑

6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits ⚑

7 Consider what I say and the Lord give thee understanding in all things ⚑

8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel ⚑

9 Where in I suffer trouble as an evil doer even unto bonds but the word of God is not bound ⚑

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 ⚑

11 It is a faithful saying For if we be dead with him we shall also live with him ⚑

12 If we suffer we shall also reign with him if we deny him he also will deny us ⚑

13 If we believe not yet he abideth faithful he can not deny himself ⚑

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 ⚑

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth ⚑

16 But shun profane and vain babblings for they will increase unto more ungodliness ⚑

17 And their word will eat as doth a canker of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus ⚑

18 Who concerning the truth have erred saying that the resurrection is past already and overthrow the faith of some ⚑

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 ⚑

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 ⚑

21 If a man therefore purge himself from these he shall be a vessel unto honour sanctified and meet for the aster’s use and prepared unto every good work ⚑

22 Flee also youthful lusts but follow righteousness faith charity peace with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart ⚑

23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid knowing that they do gender strifes ⚑

24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive but be gentle unto all men apt to teach patient ⚑

25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth ⚑

26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil who are taken captive by him at his will ⚑
