1You therefore,^G3767 my son,^G5043 be strong^G1743 in the grace^G5485 that is in Christ^G5547 Jesus.^G2424
2And the things which^G3739 you have heard^G191 from me in the presence^G1223 of many^G4183 witnesses,^G3144 these^G3778 entrust^G3908 to faithful^G4103 men,^G444 who^G3748 will be able^G2425 to teach^G1321 others^G2087 also.^G2532
3Suffer^G4777 hardship^G4777 with [me,] as a good^G2570 soldier^G4757 of Christ^G5547 Jesus.^G2424
4No^G3762 soldier^G4754 in active^G4754 service^G4754 entangles^G1707 himself in the affairs^G4230 of everyday^G979 life,^G979 so^G2443 that he may please^G700 the one who enlisted^G4758 him as a soldier.^G4758
5And also^G2532 if^G1437 anyone^G5100 competes^G118 as an athlete,^G118 he does not win^G4737 the prize^G4737 unless^G1437G3361 he competes^G118 according to the rules.^G3545
6The hard-working farmer^G1092 ought^G1163 to be the first^G4413 to receive^G3335 his share^G3335 of the crops.^G2590
7Consider^G3539 what^G3739 I say,^G3004 for the Lord^G2962 will give^G1325 you understanding^G4907 in everything.^G3956
8Remember^G3421 Jesus^G2424 Christ,^G5547 risen^G1453 from the dead,^G3498 descendant^G4690 of David,^G7035 according^G2596 to my gospel,^G2098
9for which^G3739 I suffer^G2553 hardship^G2553 even^G3360 to imprisonment^G1199 as a criminal;^G2557 but the word^G3056 of God^G2316 is not imprisoned.^G1210
10For this^G3778 reason^G1223 I endure^G5278 all^G3956 things^G3956 for the sake^G1223 of those^G3588 who are chosen,^G1588 that they also^G2532 may obtain^G5177 the salvation^G4991 which is in Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424 [and] with [it] eternal^G166 glory.^G1391
11It is a trustworthy^G4103 statement:^G3056 For if^G1487 we died^G4880 with Him, we shall also^G2532 live^G4800 with Him;
12If^G1487 we endure,^G5278 we shall also^G2532 reign^G4821 with Him; If^G1487 we deny^G720 Him, He also^G2548 will deny^G720 us;
13If^G1487 we are faithless,^G569 He remains^G3306 faithful;^G4103 for He cannot^G1410G3756 deny^G720 Himself.^G1438
14Remind^G5279 [them] of these^G3778 things,^G3778 and solemnly^G1263 charge^G1263 [them] in the presence^G1799 of God^G2316 not to wrangle^G3054 about^G3054 words,^G3054 which is useless,^G3762G5539 [and leads] to the ruin^G2692 of the hearers.^G191
15Be diligent^G4704 to present^G3936 yourself^G4572 approved^G1384 to God^G2316 as a workman^G2040 who does not need^G422 to be ashamed,^G422 handling^G3718 accurately^G3718 the word^G3056 of truth.^G225
16But avoid^G4026 worldly^G952 [and] empty^G2757 chatter,^G2757 for it will lead^G4298 to further^G4183 ungodliness,^G763
17and their talk^G3056 will spread^G3542 like^G5613 gangrene.^G1044 Among them are Hymenaeus^G5211 and Philetus,^G5372
18[men] who^G3748 have gone^G795 astray^G795 from the truth^G225 saying^G3004 that the resurrection^G386 has already^G2235 taken^G1096 place,^G1096 and thus they upset^G396 the faith^G4102 of some.^G5100
19Nevertheless,^G3305 the firm^G4731 foundation^G2310 of God^G2316 stands,^G2476 having^G2192 this^G3778 seal,^G4973 "The Lord^G2962 knows^G1097 those^G3588 who are His," and, "Let everyone^G3956 who names^G3687 the name^G3686 of the Lord^G2962 abstain^G868 from wickedness.^G93"
20Now^G1161 in a large^G3173 house^G3614 there are not only^G3440 gold^G5552 and silver^G693 vessels,^G4632 but also^G2532 vessels of wood^G3585 and of earthenware,^G3749 and some^G3739G3303 to honor^G5092 and some^G3739 to dishonor.^G819
21Therefore,^G3767 if^G1437 a man^G5100 cleanses^G1571 himself^G1438 from these^G3778 [things], he will be a vessel^G4632 for honor,^G5092 sanctified,^G37 useful^G2173 to the Master,^G1203 prepared^G2090 for every^G3956 good^G18 work.^G2041
22Now^G1161 flee^G5343 from youthful^G3512 lusts,^G1939 and pursue^G1377 righteousness,^G1343 faith,^G4102 love^G26 [and] peace,^G1515 with those^G3588 who call^G1941 on the Lord^G2962 from a pure^G2513 heart.^G2588
23But refuse^G3868 foolish^G3474 and ignorant^G521 speculations,^G2214 knowing^G3609 that they produce^G1080 quarrels.^G3163
24And the Lord's bond-servant must^G1163 not be quarrelsome,^G3164 but be kind^G2261 to all,^G3956 able^G1317 to teach,^G1317 patient^G420 when^G420 wronged,^G420
25with gentleness^G4240 correcting^G3811 those^G3588 who are in opposition,^G475 if^G3379 perhaps^G3379 God^G2316 may grant^G1325 them repentance^G3341 leading^G1519 to the knowledge^G1922 of the truth,^G225
26and they may come^G366 to their senses^G366 [and escape] from the snare^G3803 of the devil,^G1228 having been held^G2221 captive^G2221 by him to do his will.^G2307
