2 Timothy 2

1 So you, my son, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

συ ουν τεκνον μου ενδυναμου εν τη χαριτι τη εν χριστω ιησου

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.

και α ηκουσας παρ εμου δια πολλων μαρτυρων ταυτα παραθου πιστοις ανθρωποις οιτινες ικανοι εσονται και ετερους διδαξαι

3 You therefore are to endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

συγκακοπαθησον ως καλος στρατιωτης χριστου ιησου

4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in the affairs of civilian life; he wants to please the one who enlisted him.

ουδεις στρατευομενος εμπλεκεται ταις του βιου πραγματειαις ινα τω στρατολογησαντι αρεση

5 Further, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules

εαν δε και αθλη τις ου στεφανουται εαν μη νομιμως αθληση

6 —the hardworking farmer should be the first to receive of the fruits.

τον κοπιωντα γεωργον δει πρωτον των καρπων μεταλαμβανειν

7 Ponder what I am saying; may the Lord indeed give you understanding in it all.

νοει ο λεγω δωσει γαρ σοι ο κυριος συνεσιν εν πασιν

8 Keep thinking of Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, of David's seed; this is my gospel,

μνημονευε ιησουν χριστον εγηγερμενον εκ νεκρων εκ σπερματος δαυιδ κατα το ευαγγελιον μου

9 for which I am suffering to the point of being in chains like a criminal, but the Word of God is not chained.

εν ω κακοπαθω μεχρι δεσμων ως κακουργος αλλα ο λογος του θεου ου δεδεται

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)

δια τουτο παντα υπομενω δια τους εκλεκτους ινα και αυτοι σωτηριας τυχωσιν της εν χριστω ιησου μετα δοξης αιωνιου (aiōnios g166)

11 This is a trustworthy word: If, indeed, we died together, we will also live together;

πιστος ο λογος ει γαρ συναπεθανομεν και συζησομεν

12 if we endure, we will also reign together; if we deny, He will also deny us;

ει υπομενομεν και συμβασιλευσομεν ει αρνησομεθα κακεινος αρνησεται ημας

13 if we are faithless, He remains faithful —He is incapable of denying Himself.

ει απιστουμεν εκεινος πιστος μενει αρνησασθαι γαρ εαυτον ου δυναται

14 Keep reiterating these things, exhorting them before the Lord not to argue about words to no useful purpose—it just ruins the hearers.

ταυτα υπομιμνησκε διαμαρτυρομενος ενωπιον του θεου μη λογομαχειν επ ουδεν χρησιμον επι καταστροφη των ακουοντων

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.

σπουδασον σεαυτον δοκιμον παραστησαι τω θεω εργατην ανεπαισχυντον ορθοτομουντα τον λογον της αληθειας

16 But shun godless, empty chatter, because those who do it will become increasingly godless,

τας δε βεβηλους κενοφωνιας περιιστασο επι πλειον γαρ προκοψουσιν ασεβειας

17 and their word will spread like gangrene—among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

και ο λογος αυτων ως γαγγραινα νομην εξει ων εστιν υμεναιος και φιλητος

18 who have wandered away from the Truth, saying that the resurrection has already occurred; and they overturn the faith of some.

οιτινες περι την αληθειαν ηστοχησαν λεγοντες {VAR2: [την] } αναστασιν ηδη γεγονεναι και ανατρεπουσιν την τινων πιστιν

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.

ο μεντοι στερεος θεμελιος του θεου εστηκεν εχων την σφραγιδα ταυτην εγνω κυριος τους οντας αυτου και αποστητω απο αδικιας πας ο ονομαζων το ονομα κυριου

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.

εν μεγαλη δε οικια ουκ εστιν μονον σκευη χρυσα και αργυρα αλλα και ξυλινα και οστρακινα και α μεν εις τιμην α δε εις ατιμιαν

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.

εαν ουν τις εκκαθαρη εαυτον απο τουτων εσται σκευος εις τιμην ηγιασμενον ευχρηστον τω δεσποτη εις παν εργον αγαθον ητοιμασμενον

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.

τας δε νεωτερικας επιθυμιας φευγε διωκε δε δικαιοσυνην πιστιν αγαπην ειρηνην μετα των επικαλουμενων τον κυριον εκ καθαρας καρδιας

23 Refuse foolish and ignorant arguments, knowing that they breed quarrels.

τας δε μωρας και απαιδευτους ζητησεις παραιτου ειδως οτι γεννωσιν μαχας

24 Now a slave of the Lord should not quarrel but be gentle towards all, skillful at teaching, forbearing,

δουλον δε κυριου ου δει μαχεσθαι αλλα ηπιον ειναι προς παντας διδακτικον ανεξικακον

25 correcting courteously those who oppose him, in hopes that God may grant them repentance leading to a real knowledge of Truth,

εν πραυτητι παιδευοντα τους αντιδιατιθεμενους μηποτε δωη αυτοις ο θεος μετανοιαν εις επιγνωσιν αληθειας

26 and that they may retrieve their senses out of the devil's snare (having been taken captive by him to do his will).

και ανανηψωσιν εκ της του διαβολου παγιδος εζωγρημενοι υπ αυτου εις το εκεινου θελημα
