2 Timotheus 2

¹Thou therefore, my sonne, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Iesus.

²And the things that thou hast heard of mee among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithfull men, who shall be able to teach others also.

³Thou therefore indure hardnesse, as a good souldier of Iesus Christ.

⁴No man that warreth, intangleth himselfe with the affaires of this life, that hee may please him who hath chosen him to be a sould Jeremiah

⁵And if a man also striue for masteries, yet is hee not crowned except hee striue lawfully.

⁶The husbandman that laboureth, must bee first partaker of the fruites.

⁷Consider what I say, and the Lord giue thee vnderstanding in all things.

⁸Remember that Iesus Christ of the seede of Dauid, was raised from the dead, according to my Gospel:

⁹Wherein I suffer trouble as an euill doer, euen vnto bonds: but the word of God is not bound.

¹⁰Therefore I indure all things for the elects sakes, that they may also obtaine the saluation which is in Christ Iesus, with eternall glory.

¹¹It is a faithfull saying: for if we bee dead with him, wee shall also liue with him.

¹²If we suffer, we shall also reigne with him: if wee denie him, hee also will denie vs.

¹³If we beleeue not, yet he abideth faithfull, he cannot denie himselfe.

¹⁴Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord, that they striue not about words to no profite, but to the subuerting of the hearers.

¹⁵Studie to shewe thy selfe approued vnto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly diuiding the word of trueth.

¹⁶But shun profane and vaine bablings, for they will increase vnto more vngodlinesse.

¹⁷And their word will eate as doth a canker: of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus.

¹⁸Who concerning the trueth haue erred, saying that the resurrection is past alreadie, and ouerthrow the faith of some.

¹⁹Neuerthelesse the foundation of God standeth sure, hauing the seale, the Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let euery one that nameth the Name of Christ, depart from iniquitie.

²⁰But in a great house, there are not onely vessels of gold, and of siluer, but also a wood, & of earth: and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

²¹If a man therefore purge himselfe from these, he shal be a vessell vnto honour, sanctified, and meete for the Masters vse, and prepared vnto euery good worke.

²²Flie also youthfull lusts: but follow righteousnesse, faith, charitie, peace with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

²³But foolish and vnlearned questions auoid, knowing that they doe gender strifes.

²⁴And the seruant of the Lord must not striue: but bee gentle vnto all men, apt to teach, patient,

²⁵In meekenesse instructing those that oppose themselues, if God peraduenture will giue them repentance to the acknowledging of the trueth.

²⁶And that they may recouer themselues out of the snare of the deuill, who are taken captiue by him at his will.
