CHAPTER TIMOTHY 2
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2
And the things that thou
hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able
to teach others also.
3
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4
No man
that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of
this
life; that he may please him who hath chosen
him to be a soldier.
5
And if a man also strive for masteries,
yet
is he not crowned, except he strive
lawfully.
6
The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7
Consider what I
say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
8
Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed
of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
9
Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil
doer,
even
unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10
Therefore I endure all things for the
elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11
It is
a faithful saying: For if we be dead with
him,
we shall also live with
him:
12
If we suffer,
we shall also reign with
him:
if we deny
him,
he also will deny us:
13
If we believe not,
yet
he
abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
14
Of these things put
them
in remembrance, charging
them
before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit,
but
to the subverting of the
hearers.
15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.
16
But shun profane
and
vain babblings: for they will increase
unto more ungodliness.
17
And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and
Philetus;
18
Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and
overthrow the faith of some.
19
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal,
The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart
from iniquity.
20
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of
wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21
If a man therefore purge himself
from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use,
and
prepared
unto every good work.
22
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace,
with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid,
knowing that they do gender strifes.
24
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle
unto all
men,
apt to teach, patient,
25
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God
peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26
And
that
they may
recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
CHAPTER TIMOTHY 3
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2
For men shall be lovers of their
own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that
are good,
4
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5
Having a
