chapter 2
1
Thou
therefore, my son, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus:
2 And 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.
3 Labour as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 No man, being a soldier to God, entangleth himself
with secular businesses; that he may please him to whom he hath engaged
himself.
5 For he also that striveth for the mastery, is not
crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The husbandman, that laboureth, must first partake of
the fruits.
7 Understand what I say: for the Lord will give thee in
all things understanding.
8 Be mindful that the Lord Jesus Christ is risen again
from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel.
9 Wherein I labour even unto bands, as an evildoer; but
the word of God is not bound.
10 Therefore 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.
11 A faithful saying: for if we be dead with him, we
shall live also with him.
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him. If we
deny him, he will also deny us.
13 If we believe not, he continueth faithful, he can
not deny himself.
14 Of 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.
15 Carefully study to present thyself approved unto
God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of
truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they grow
much towards ungodliness.
17 And their speech spreadeth like a canker: of whom
are Hymeneus and Philetus:
18 Who have erred from the truth, saying, that the
resurrection is past already, and have subverted the faith of some.
19 But 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.
20 But 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.
21 If 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.
22 But flee thou youthful desires, and pursue justice,
faith, charity, and peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 And avoid foolish and unlearned questions, knowing
that they beget strifes.
24 But the servant of the Lord must not wrangle: but be
mild towards all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 With modesty admonishing them that resist the truth:
if peradventure God may give them repentance to know the truth,
26 And they may recover themselves from the snares of
the devil, by whom they are held captive at his will.
