2 Timothy 2
2
1Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus:
2And the things which thou hast heard of me by many witnesses, the same commend to faithful men, who shall be fit to teach others also.
3Labour as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4No man, being a soldier to God, entangleth himself with secular businesses; that he may please him to whom he hath engaged himself.
5For he also that striveth for the mastery, is not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6The husbandman, that laboureth, must first partake of the fruits.
7Understand what I say: for the Lord will give thee in all things understanding.
8Be mindful that the Lord Jesus Christ is risen again from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel.
9Wherein I labour even unto bands, as an evildoer; but the word of God is not bound.
10Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation, which is in Christ Jesus, with heavenly glory.
11A faithful saying: for if we be dead with him, we shall live also with him.
12If we suffer, we shall also reign with him. If we deny him, he will also deny us.
13If we believe not, he continueth faithful, he can not deny himself.
14Of these things put them in mind, charging them before the Lord. Contend not in words, for it is to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15Carefully study to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
16But shun profane and vain babblings: for they grow much towards ungodliness.
17And their speech spreadeth like a canker: of whom are Hymeneus and Philetus:
18Who have erred from the truth, saying, that the resurrection is past already, and have subverted the faith of some.
19But the sure foundation of God standeth firm, having this seal: the Lord knoweth who are his; and let every one depart from iniquity who nameth the name of the Lord.
20But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and earth: and some indeed unto honour, but some unto dishonour.
21If any man therefore shall cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified and profitable to the Lord, prepared unto every good work.
22But flee thou youthful desires, and pursue justice, faith, charity, and peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23And avoid foolish and unlearned questions, knowing that they beget strifes.
24But the servant of the Lord must not wrangle: but be mild towards all men, apt to teach, patient,
25With modesty admonishing them that resist the truth: if peradventure God may give them repentance to know the truth,
26And they may recover themselves from the snares of the devil, by whom they are held captive at his will.

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.
