2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Meshikha Yeshua.
Do you, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus;
2 The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful people, who will be able to teach others also.
and the things which you have heard from me through many witnesses, these do you commit to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 You therefore must share in hardship, as a good soldier of Meshikha Yeshua.
Do you, therefore, suffer evil, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
Every one that serves as a soldier keeps himself free from the business of this life, that he may please him that has chosen him to be a soldier.
5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
And if any one also contend in the public games, he is not crowned, unless he contend according to the laws.
6 The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.
It is necessary that, the farmer should labor, before he partakes of the fruits.
7 Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
Consider what I say, for I pray that the Lord may give you understanding in all things.
8 Remember Yeshua Meshikha, risen from the dead, a descendant of Dawid, according to my Good News,
Remember that Jesus Christ, of the posterity of David, was raised from the dead, according to my gospel;
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God's word is not chained.
in which I suffer evil, as an evil-doer, even to bonds: but the word of God is not bound.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones' sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Meshikha Yeshua with everlasting glory. (aiōnios g166)
For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
11 This saying is faithful: "For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
Assuredly true is the saying: If indeed we have died with him, we shall also live with him;
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
if we are patient, we shall also reign with him; if we deny him, he will also deny us;
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself."
if we are unfaithful, he remains faithful: he can not deny himself.
14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the presence of God, not to wrangle about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
Put them in mind of these things, charging them before the Lord that they dispute not about words to no profit, which disputes end in the overthrow of the hearers.
15 Do your best to present yourself approved by God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, properly handling the word of truth.
Strive to present yourself to God as approved, a workman that has no cause to be ashamed, rightly setting forth the word of truth.
16 But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
But shun profane and vain babblings; for they will make further advance to ungodliness,
17 and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
and their word will eat as a gangrene: of whom are Hymenæus and Philetus,
18 who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
who, as it respects the truth, have erred, saying that the resurrection has already taken place; and they overthrow the faith of some.
19 However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness."
But the foundation of God stands firm, having this inscription: The Lord knows those who are his; and, Let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor.
In a great house, however, there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some for honor, and some for dishonor.
21 If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master's use, prepared for every good work.
If, therefore, any one will cleanse himself from these strifes about words, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, highly useful to the master, prepared for every good work.
22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Shun youthful desires, and follow righteousness, faithfulness, love, peace, with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
But avoid foolish and unprofitable questions, because you know that they produce contentions:
24 The Lord's servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,
and the servant of the Lord must not be contentious, but gentle toward all men, able to teach, patient under evils,
25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
in meekness instructing those who oppose themselves, if, possibly, God may give them repentance in order to the acknowledgment of the truth,
26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.
and that they may awake to sobriety out of the snare of the devil, after having been taken captive by him according to his will.
