2 Timothy 2
1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
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.
And those (doctrines) which thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, them commit to faithful men, who are also able to teach others.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
And endure evils as a good soldier of Jeshu Meshiha.
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.
No man serveth as a soldier, and entangleth himself with the affairs of the world, that he might please him who hath chosen him.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, [yet] is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
And if one contendeth, he is not crowned, unless according to his law he contend.
6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
It becometh the husbandman who laboureth that he should first eat of his fruits.
7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
Understand what I say to thee. Our Lord give thee wisdom in all things.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
Remember Jeshu Meshiha, that he arose from among the dead, he who is of the seed of David, according to my gospel;
9 Where in I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, [even] unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
for which I endure evils unto bonds, as an evil-doer: but the word of Aloha 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. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore I endure every thing on account of the elect, that they also may find salvation in Jeshu Meshiha, with the glory that is eternal. (aiōnios g166)
11 [It is] a faithful saying: For if we be dead with [him], we shall also live with [him]:
Faithful is the word: For if we be dead with him, With him also we shall live;
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny [him], he also will deny us:
And if we endure, We shall also reign with him; But, if we deny him, He also will deny us!
13 If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he can not deny himself.
And if we believe him not, He in his faithfulness abideth; For deny himself he cannot.
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.
Of these (truths) remind them, and testify before our Lord, that they contend not with unprofitable words, to the overturning of those who hear them.
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
And be careful to establish thyself perfectly before Aloha, a workman without shame, preaching rightly the word of truth.
16 But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
From vain words which have no utility in them withdraw; for they add greatly to the wickedness of those who are occupied with them.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
And their words as an eating cancer will lay hold upon many: but one of them is Hymeneos, and another Philetos,
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
who have erred from the truth, saying, that the resurrection of the dead hath been, and the faith of some overturning.
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.
But the true foundation of Aloha standeth; and it hath this signature: And the Lord knoweth them who are his. And, Let every one who invoketh the name of the Lord 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.
But in a great house there are not vessels of gold only or of silver, but also of wood, also of clay: of them (some are) to honour, and of them (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.
If a man then purify himself from these, he will be a pure vessel unto honour, fitted for the use of his Lord, and prepared for 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.
From all the lusts of youth escape; and pursue after righteousness, and faith, and charity, and peace, with them who call upon the Lord with a pure heart.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
From foolish controversies which are without instruction withdraw; for thou knowest that they beget strifes.
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all [men], apt to teach, patient,
But a servant of the Lord oweth not to strive, but to be gentle towards every man, and teaching, and long-suffering,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
that he may instruct them who would contend against him with meekness, if by any means Aloha may give them conversion, and they may acknowledge 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.
and be mindful of themselves, and remove from the snare of Satana, by whom they have been entrapped at his will.
