2 Timothy 2

Disciples from Generation to Generation
1Therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Messiah Yeshua.
2And what you have heard from me among many witnesses, entrust to faithful people who will be capable to teach others also.
3Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Messiah Yeshua.
4No one serving as a soldier entangles himself in the activities of everyday life, so that he might please the one who enlisted him.
5Also, if anyone competes as an athlete, he is not crowned victorious unless he competes according to the rules.
6The hard-working farmer ought to receive the first share of the crops.
7Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
8Remember Yeshua the Messiah, raised from the dead, from the seed of David—according to my Good News.
9For this I suffer hardship as a criminal, even to the point of chains—though the word of God is not chained.
10Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the chosen, so they might obtain the salvation that is in Messiah Yeshua with eternal glory.
11Trustworthy is the saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him;
12if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;
13if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.
A Workman with the Word
14Remind them of these things and solemnly charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which is useless—to the ruin of those who are listening.
15Make every effort to present yourself before God as tried and true, as an unashamed worker cutting a straight path with the word of truth.
16But avoid godless chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness
17and their words will spread like cancer. Among them are Hymeneaus and Philetus—
18men who have missed the mark concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place. They are overturning the faith of some.
19Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord keep away from unrighteousness.”
20Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay—some for honor and some for common use.
21Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor—sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.
22Now flee from youthful desires; instead, pursue righteousness, faithfulness, love, and shalom, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
23But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they produce quarrels.
24The Lord’s slave must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, tolerant.
25Let him give guidance with humility to those who are in opposition—perhaps God may grant them a change of mind, leading to the knowledge of truth.
26Then they may regain their senses and escape the devil’s snare, in which they had been held captive by him to do his will.

God's Soldier and Workman
1Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2And 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. 3Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 6The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 7Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 8Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. 10Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12if we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13if we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
14Of 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. 15Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 17And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenæus and Philetus; 18who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. 19Nevertheless 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. 20But 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. 21If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. 22Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 24And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
