2 Timothy 2
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.

2 Timothy 2
2
1Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus. 2And the things thou hast heard of me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, such as shall be competent to instruct others also. 3Take thy share in suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4No one going as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who has enlisted him as a soldier. 5And if also any one contend in the games, he is not crowned unless he contend lawfully. 6The husbandman must labour before partaking of the fruits. 7Think of what I say, for the Lord will give thee understanding in all things.
8Remember Jesus Christ raised from among the dead, of the seed of David, according to my glad tidings, 9in which I suffer even unto bonds as an evil-doer: but the word of God is not bound. 10For this cause I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11The word is faithful; for if we have died together with him, we shall also live together; 12if we endure, we shall also reign together; if we deny, he also will deny us; 13if we are unfaithful, he abides faithful, for he cannot deny himself.
14Of these things put in remembrance, testifying earnestly before the Lord not to have disputes of words, profitable for nothing, to the subversion of the hearers. 15Strive diligently to present thyself approved to God, a workman that has not to be ashamed, cutting in a straight line the word of truth. 16But profane, vain babblings shun, for they will advance to greater impiety, 17and their word will spread as a gangrene; of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18men who as to the truth have gone astray, saying that the resurrection has taken place already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19Yet the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, The Lord knows those that are his; and, Let every one who names the name of the Lord withdraw from iniquity. 20But in a great house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also wooden and earthen; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21If therefore one shall have purified himself from these, in separating himself from them, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified, serviceable to the Master, prepared for every good work.
22But youthful lusts flee, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those that call upon the Lord out of a pure heart. 23But foolish and senseless questionings avoid, knowing that they beget contentions. 24And a bondman of the Lord ought not to contend, but be gentle towards all; apt to teach; forbearing; 25in meekness setting right those who oppose, if God perhaps may sometime give them repentance to acknowledgment of the truth, 26and that they may awake up out of the snare of the devil, who are taken by him, for his will.
