2 Timothy 2
1 Therefore, my son, be strong in the favor which is through Christ Jesus.
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
2 And what things you have heard from me by many witnesses, these commit in trust to faithful men, who shall be fit also to teach others.
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 Endure evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
And endure evils as a good soldier of Jeshu Meshiha.
4 No man who wars entangles himself with the occupations of this life, that he may please him, who has 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 also if one contend in the games, he is not crowned unless he contend according to the laws.
And if one contendeth, he is not crowned, unless according to his law he contend.
6 It becomes the husbandman to labor, before he partakes of the fruits.
It becometh the husbandman who laboureth that he should first eat of his fruits.
7 Consider what I say; and may the Lord give you understanding in all things!
Understand what I say to thee. Our Lord give thee wisdom in all things.
8 Remember, Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, has been 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 for which I suffer evil as a malefactor, even to 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 For this cause I patiently bear all things on account of the elect; that they, indeed, may obtain the salvation which is by 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 This saying is true, that if we die 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 patiently, 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 Though we be unfaithful, he abides faithful; he can not deny himself.
And if we believe him not, He in his faithfulness abideth; For deny himself he cannot.
14 Put them in remembrance of these things; earnestly testifying to them in the presence of the Lord, not to fight about words for nothing useful, 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 Strive to exhibit yourself to God an approved workman, irreproachable, 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 profane empty babblings resist, for they will increase to 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 a gangrene: for whom are Hymeneus 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, affirming that the resurrection has already happened, and do subvert 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 stands firm, having this inscription, The Lord has made known them who are his: -- and, Let every one who names 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 earthenware; some to honor, and some to dishonor.
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, then, a man will cleanse himself well from these, he will be a vessel appointed to honor, sanctified, and very profitable for the master's use, prepared for 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, therefore, youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, with them who call on the Lord from 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 Moreover, foolish and ignorant questions reject, knowing that they beget contentions;
From foolish controversies which are without instruction withdraw; for thou knowest that they beget strifes.
24 and the servant of the Lord must not be contentious, but gentle toward all men, fit to teach, patiently bearing evil,
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 who set themselves in opposition; if, by any means God will give them reformation to the acknowledgment of 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 they may awake up 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.
