2 Timothy 2
1 You, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that [is] in Christ Jesus,
Σὺ οὖν, τέκνον μου, ἐνδυναμοῦ ἐν τῇ χάριτι τῇ ἐν ˚Χριστῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ.
2 and the things that you heard from me through many witnesses, be committing these things to steadfast men, who will also be sufficient to teach others;
Καὶ ἃ ἤκουσας παρʼ ἐμοῦ διὰ πολλῶν μαρτύρων, ταῦτα παράθου πιστοῖς ἀνθρώποις, οἵτινες ἱκανοὶ ἔσονται καὶ ἑτέρους διδάξαι.
3 you, therefore, suffer evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ;
Συγκακοπάθησον ὡς καλὸς στρατιώτης ˚Χριστοῦ ˚Ἰησοῦ.
4 no one serving as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who enlisted him;
Οὐδεὶς στρατευόμενος ἐμπλέκεται ταῖς τοῦ βίου πραγματείαις, ἵνα τῷ στρατολογήσαντι ἀρέσῃ.
5 and if anyone also may strive, he is not crowned, except he may strive lawfully;
Ἐὰν δὲ καὶ ἀθλῇ τις, οὐ στεφανοῦται, ἐὰν μὴ νομίμως ἀθλήσῃ.
6 it is first necessary [for] the laboring farmer to partake of the fruits;
Τὸν κοπιῶντα γεωργὸν δεῖ πρῶτον τῶν καρπῶν μεταλαμβάνειν.
7 be considering what things I say, for the LORD gives to you understanding in all things.
Νόει ὃ λέγω, δώσει γάρ σοι ὁ ˚Κύριος σύνεσιν ἐν πᾶσιν.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised out of the dead, of the seed of David, according to my good news,
Μνημόνευε ˚Ἰησοῦν ˚Χριστὸν, ἐγηγερμένον ἐκ νεκρῶν, ἐκ σπέρματος Δαυίδ, κατὰ τὸ εὐαγγέλιόν μου,
9 in which I suffer evil—to bonds, as an evildoer, but the word of God has not been bound;
ἐν ᾧ κακοπαθῶ μέχρι δεσμῶν ὡς κακοῦργος. Ἀλλὰ ὁ λόγος τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ οὐ δέδεται!
10 because of this I endure all things, because of the chosen ones, that they also may obtain salvation that [is] in Christ Jesus, with perpetual glory. (aiōnios g166)
Διὰ τοῦτο, πάντα ὑπομένω διὰ τοὺς ἐκλεκτούς, ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ σωτηρίας τύχωσιν τῆς ἐν ˚Χριστῷ ˚Ἰησοῦ μετὰ δόξης αἰωνίου. (aiōnios g166)
11 The word [is] steadfast: For if we died together—we will also live together;
Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος: “Εἰ γὰρ συναπεθάνομεν, καὶ συζήσομεν·
12 if we endure together—we will also reign together; if we deny [Him], He will also deny us;
εἰ ὑπομένομεν, καὶ συμβασιλεύσομεν· εἰ ἀρνησόμεθα, κἀκεῖνος ἀρνήσεται ἡμᾶς·
13 if we are not steadfast, He remains steadfast; He is not able to deny Himself.
εἰ ἀπιστοῦμεν, ἐκεῖνος πιστὸς μένει· ἀρνήσασθαι γὰρ ἑαυτὸν οὐ δύναται.”
14 Remind [them] of these things, testifying fully before the LORD—not to strive about words to nothing profitable, but to the subversion of those hearing;
Ταῦτα ὑπομίμνῃσκε, διαμαρτυρόμενος ἐνώπιον τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, μὴ λογομαχεῖν ἐπʼ οὐδὲν χρήσιμον, ἐπὶ καταστροφῇ τῶν ἀκουόντων.
15 be diligent to present yourself approved to God—a workman not ashamed, straightly cutting the word of truth;
Σπούδασον σεαυτὸν δόκιμον παραστῆσαι τῷ ˚Θεῷ, ἐργάτην ἀνεπαίσχυντον, ὀρθοτομοῦντα τὸν λόγον τῆς ἀληθείας.
16 and stand aloof from the profane vain talkings, for they will advance to more impiety,
Τὰς δὲ βεβήλους κενοφωνίας περιΐστασο, ἐπὶ πλεῖον γὰρ προκόψουσιν ἀσεβείας,
17 and their word will have pasture as a gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus,
καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτῶν ὡς γάγγραινα νομὴν ἕξει· ὧν ἐστιν Ὑμέναιος, καὶ Φίλητος,
18 who swerved concerning the truth, saying the resurrection to have already been, and overthrows the faith of some;
οἵτινες περὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἠστόχησαν, λέγοντες τὴν ἀνάστασιν ἤδη γεγονέναι, καὶ ἀνατρέπουσιν τήν τινων πίστιν.
19 sure, nevertheless, the foundation of God has stood, having this seal: “The LORD has known those who are His,” and, “Let him depart from unrighteousness—everyone who is naming the Name of Christ.”
Ὁ μέντοι στερεὸς θεμέλιος τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἕστηκεν, ἔχων τὴν σφραγῖδα ταύτην: “Ἔγνω ˚Κύριος τοὺς ὄντας αὐτοῦ”, καί, “Ἀποστήτω ἀπὸ ἀδικίας πᾶς ὁ ὀνομάζων τὸ ὄνομα ˚Κυρίου.”
20 And in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some to honor, and some to dishonor:
Ἐν μεγάλῃ δὲ οἰκίᾳ, οὐκ ἔστιν μόνον σκεύη χρυσᾶ καὶ ἀργυρᾶ, ἀλλὰ καὶ ξύλινα καὶ ὀστράκινα, καὶ ἃ μὲν εἰς τιμὴν, ἃ δὲ εἰς ἀτιμίαν.
21 if, then, anyone may cleanse himself from these, he will be a vessel to honor, sanctified and profitable to the master—having been prepared to every good work;
Ἐὰν οὖν τις ἐκκαθάρῃ ἑαυτὸν ἀπὸ τούτων, ἔσται σκεῦος εἰς τιμήν, ἡγιασμένον εὔχρηστον τῷ Δεσπότῃ, εἰς πᾶν ἔργον ἀγαθὸν ἡτοιμασμένον.
22 and flee the youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling on the LORD out of a pure heart;
Τὰς δὲ νεωτερικὰς ἐπιθυμίας φεῦγε, δίωκε δὲ δικαιοσύνην, πίστιν, ἀγάπην, εἰρήνην, μετὰ τῶν ἐπικαλουμένων τὸν ˚Κύριον ἐκ καθαρᾶς καρδίας.
23 and be avoiding the foolish and uninstructed questions, having known that they beget strife,
Τὰς δὲ μωρὰς καὶ ἀπαιδεύτους ζητήσεις παραιτοῦ, εἰδὼς ὅτι γεννῶσι μάχας.
24 and a servant of the LORD must not quarrel, but to be gentle to all, apt to teach, patient under evil,
Δοῦλον δὲ ˚Κυρίου οὐ δεῖ μάχεσθαι, ἀλλὰ ἤπιον εἶναι πρὸς πάντας, διδακτικόν, ἀνεξίκακον,
25 instructing those opposing in meekness—if perhaps God may give to them conversion to an acknowledging of the truth,
ἐν πραΰτητι παιδεύοντα τοὺς ἀντιδιατιθεμένους, μήποτε δώῃ αὐτοῖς ὁ ˚Θεὸς μετάνοιαν εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας,
26 and they may awake out of the Devil’s snare, having been caught by him at his will.
καὶ ἀνανήψωσιν ἐκ τῆς τοῦ διαβόλου παγίδος, ἐζωγρημένοι ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὸ ἐκείνου θέλημα.
