2 Timothy - ch 2 v 1 - 20
- You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
- The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.
- You therefore must endure hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
- No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
- Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn't crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
- The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.
- Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
- Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my Good News,
- in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God's word isn't chained.
- Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones' sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
- This saying is faithful: "For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
- If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
- If we are faithless, he remains faithful. He can't deny himself."
- Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they don't argue about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
- Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn't need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.
- But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
- and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
- men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
- However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are his,"1 and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord2 depart from unrighteousness."
- Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor.
- Numbers 16:5
- TR reads "Christ" instead of "the Lord"
