2 Timothy 2
1 So you, my son, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
You yourself therefore, child of mine, do be strong in the grace that [is] in Christ Jesus,
2 Also, the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men who will be competent to teach others also.
And [the things] which you have heard from me among many witnesses, these do yourself entrust to faithful men, such as sufficient will be also others to teach.
3 You therefore are to endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
(you yourself *k*) (therefore *K*) (do share in suffering *N(k)O*) as [a] good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in the affairs of civilian life; he wants to please the one who enlisted him.
No [one] serving as a soldier entangles himself in the of this life affairs, so that the [one] having enlisted him he may please.
5 Further, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules
If now also shall compete anyone, not he is crowned only unless lawfully he shall compete.
6 —the hardworking farmer should be the first to receive of the fruits.
For the hardworking farmer it is necessary first of the fruits to partake;
7 Ponder what I am saying; may the Lord indeed give you understanding in it all.
do consider ([the] thing *N(k)O*) I am saying; (will grant *N(k)O*) for you the Lord understanding in all things.
8 Keep thinking of Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, of David's seed; this is my gospel,
do remember Jesus Christ raised out from [the] dead from [the] seed of David according to gospel of mine;
9 for which I am suffering to the point of being in chains like a criminal, but the Word of God is not chained.
in which I suffer hardship even to chains as an evildoer, But the word of God not has been bound!
10 This is why I endure it all: for the sake of the chosen ones, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
Because of this all things I endure for the sake of the elect, so that also they themselves [the] salvation may obtain that [is] in Christ Jesus with glory eternal. (aiōnios g166)
11 This is a trustworthy word: If, indeed, we died together, we will also live together;
Trustworthy [is] the saying: If for we have died with [Him], also we will live with [Him];
12 if we endure, we will also reign together; if we deny, He will also deny us;
if we endure, also we will reign with [Him]; if (we will deny [Him], *N(k)O*) He also He also will deny us;
13 if we are faithless, He remains faithful —He is incapable of denying Himself.
if we are faithless, He faithful remains; to deny (for *no*) Himself not He is able.
14 Keep reiterating these things, exhorting them before the Lord not to argue about words to no useful purpose—it just ruins the hearers.
These things do remind [them] solemnly charging [them] before (God *N(K)O*) not to quarrel about words (upon *N(k)O*) no [thing] profitable [but] to [the] subversion of those hearing.
15 Make every effort to render yourself approved by God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, handling the Word of the Truth correctly.
do hasten yourself approved to present to God a workman not ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
16 But shun godless, empty chatter, because those who do it will become increasingly godless,
But worldly empty babblings do yourself avoid; on to more for they will lead to ungodliness,
17 and their word will spread like gangrene—among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
and the talk of them like gangrene pasture to grow will have; among whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
18 who have wandered away from the Truth, saying that the resurrection has already occurred; and they overturn the faith of some.
who concerning the truth went astray asserting the resurrection already to have taken place, and they are overthrowing the of some faith.
19 Nevertheless, the solid foundation of God stands firm, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and let everyone who claims the name of the Lord keep away from unrighteousness.
Nevertheless the firm foundation of God has stood having seal this: Knows [the] Lord those being His, and should depart from iniquity everyone who is naming the name (of the Lord. *N(K)O*)
20 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some, to be sure, are for honor, but some are for dishonor.
In a great now house not there are only vessels golden and silver but also wooden and earthen, and some indeed unto honor some however unto dishonor.
21 So if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.
If therefore anyone shall cleanse himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor sanctified (and *k*) useful to the Master, for every work good prepared.
22 Flee the lusts of youth; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
And youthful lusts do flee, do pursue now righteousness, faith, love, [and] peace along with those calling on the Lord out of pure a heart.
23 Refuse foolish and ignorant arguments, knowing that they breed quarrels.
And foolish and ignorant speculations do refuse knowing that they breed quarrels;
24 Now a slave of the Lord should not quarrel but be gentle towards all, skillful at teaching, forbearing,
[The] bond-servant now of [the] Lord not it behooves to quarrel but gentle to be toward all, able to teach, forbearing,
25 correcting courteously those who oppose him, in hopes that God may grant them repentance leading to a real knowledge of Truth,
in gentleness disciplining those opposing, otherwise otherwise (he may give *NK(o)*) to them God repentance unto a knowledge of [the] truth,
26 and that they may retrieve their senses out of the devil's snare (having been taken captive by him to do his will).
and they may recover out of the of the devil snare captured by him for his will.
