1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:1
2 The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful people, who will be able to teach others also. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:2
3 You therefore must share in hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:3
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:4
5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he has competed by the rules. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:5
6 The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:6
7 Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:7
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, a descendant of David, according to my Good News, NHEB — 2Timothy 2:8
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God's word is not chained. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:9
10 Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones' sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with everlasting glory. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:10
11 This saying is faithful: "For if we died with him, we will also live with him. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:11
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:12
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself." NHEB — 2Timothy 2:13
14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the presence of God, not to wrangle about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:14
15 Do your best to present yourself approved by God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, properly handling the word of truth. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:15
16 But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness, NHEB — 2Timothy 2:16
17 and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; NHEB — 2Timothy 2:17
18 who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:18
19 However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness." NHEB — 2Timothy 2:19
20 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:20
21 If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master's use, prepared for every good work. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:21
22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:22
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:23
24 The Lord's servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient, NHEB — 2Timothy 2:24
25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth, NHEB — 2Timothy 2:25
26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will. NHEB — 2Timothy 2:26
