Sha'ul�s Second Letter to Timothy, Chapter 2
{2:1} You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is
in Messiah Yeshua. {2:2} 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. {2:3} You therefore must endure hardship, as a good
soldier of Messiah Yeshua. {2:4} No soldier on service entangles
himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled
him as a soldier. {2:5} If also a man competes in the games, he is not
crowned, unless he has competed by the rules. {2:6} The farmers who
labor must be the first to get a share of the crops. {2:7} Consider
what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
{2:8} Remember Yeshua the Messiah, risen from the dead, of the seed of
David, according to my Good News, {2:9} in which I suffer hardship to
bonds, as a criminal. But God's word isn't bound. {2:10} Therefore I
endure all things for the elect's sake, that they also may obtain the
salvation which is in Messiah Yeshua with eternal glory. {2:11} This
saying is faithful: For if we died with him, we will also live with
him. {2:12} If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we will deny
him, he also will deny us. {2:13} If we are faithless, he remains
faithful -- he can't deny himself. {2:14} 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. {2:15} Give
diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn't
need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth. {2:16} But
shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
{2:17} and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus
and Philetus; {2:18} men who have erred concerning the truth, saying
that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of
some. {2:19} However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal,
"The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the
name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness." {2:20} Now in a great
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. {2:21} If
a man therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for
honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master's use, prepared for
every good work. {2:22} Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue
righteousness, faith, love, and shalom with those who call on the Lord
out of a pure heart. {2:23} But refuse foolish and ignorant
questionings, knowing that they generate strife. {2:24} The Lord's
servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach,
patient, {2:25} in gentleness correcting those who oppose him; if
perhaps God may give them repentance to the knowledge of the truth,
{2:26} and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare,
having been taken captive by him to his will.
