2 Timothy 2
1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
Thou therefore, my sonne, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Iesus.
2 And those (doctrines) which thou hast heard from me by many witnesses, them commit to faithful men, who are also able to teach others.
And what things thou hast heard of me, by many witnesses, ye same deliuer to faithfull men, which shalbe able to teache other also.
3 And endure evils as a good soldier of Jeshu Meshiha.
Thou therefore suffer affliction as a good souldier of Iesus Christ.
4 No man serveth as a soldier, and entangleth himself with the affairs of the world, that he might please him who hath chosen him.
No man that warreth, entangleth himselfe with the affaires of this life, because he woulde please him that hath chosen him to be a souldier.
5 And if one contendeth, he is not crowned, unless according to his law he contend.
And if any man also striue for a Masterie, he is not crowned, except he striue as he ought to doe.
6 It becometh the husbandman who laboureth that he should first eat of his fruits.
The husbandman must labour before he receiue the fruites.
7 Understand what I say to thee. Our Lord give thee wisdom in all things.
Consider what I say: and the Lord giue thee vnderstanding in all things:
8 Remember Jeshu Meshiha, that he arose from among the dead, he who is of the seed of David, according to my gospel;
Remember that Iesus Christ, made of the seede of Dauid, was raysed againe from the dead according to my Gospel,
9 for which I endure evils unto bonds, as an evil-doer: but the word of Aloha is not bound.
Wherein I suffer trouble as an euill doer, euen vnto bondes: but the worde of God is not bounde.
10 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)
Therefore I suffer all things, for the elects sake, that they might also obtaine the saluation which is in Christ Iesus, with eternall glorie. (aiōnios g166)
11 Faithful is the word: For if we be dead with him, With him also we shall live;
It is a true saying, For if we be dead together with him, we also shall liue together with him.
12 And if we endure, We shall also reign with him; But, if we deny him, He also will deny us!
If we suffer, we shall also reigne together with him: if we denie him, he also will denie vs.
13 And if we believe him not, He in his faithfulness abideth; For deny himself he cannot.
If we beleeue not, yet abideth he faithfull: he cannot denie himselfe.
14 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.
Of these things put them in remembrance, and protest before the Lord, that they striue not about wordes, which is to no profit, but to the peruerting of the hearers.
15 And be careful to establish thyself perfectly before Aloha, a workman without shame, preaching rightly the word of truth.
Studie to shewe thy selfe approued vnto God, a workeman that needeth not to be ashamed, diuiding the worde of trueth aright.
16 From vain words which have no utility in them withdraw; for they add greatly to the wickedness of those who are occupied with them.
Stay prophane, and vaine babblings: for they shall encrease vnto more vngodlinesse.
17 And their words as an eating cancer will lay hold upon many: but one of them is Hymeneos, and another Philetos,
And their worde shall fret as a canker: of which sort is Hymeneus and Philetus,
18 who have erred from the truth, saying, that the resurrection of the dead hath been, and the faith of some overturning.
Which as concerning ye trueth haue erred from the marke, saying that the resurrection is past alreadie, and do destroy the faith of certaine.
19 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.
But the foundation of God remaineth sure, and hath this seale, The Lord knoweth who are his: and, Let euery one that calleth on the Name of Christ, depart from iniquitie.
20 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.
Notwithstanding in a great house are not onely vessels of gold and of siluer, but also of wood and of earth, and some for honour, and some vnto dishonour.
21 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.
If any man therefore purge him selfe from these, he shalbe a vessell vnto honour, sanctified, and meete for the Lord, and prepared vnto euery good worke.
22 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.
Flee also from the lustes of youth, and follow after righteousnes, faith, loue, and peace, with them that call on the Lord with pure heart,
23 From foolish controversies which are without instruction withdraw; for thou knowest that they beget strifes.
And put away foolish and vnlearned questions, knowing that they ingender strife.
24 But a servant of the Lord oweth not to strive, but to be gentle towards every man, and teaching, and long-suffering,
But the seruant of ye Lord must not striue, but must be gentle toward all men, apt to teache, suffering the euill,
25 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,
Instructing them with meekenesse that are contrary minded, prouing if God at any time will giue them repentance, that they may acknowledge the trueth,
26 and be mindful of themselves, and remove from the snare of Satana, by whom they have been entrapped at his will.
And come to amendment out of that snare of the deuil, of whom they are taken prisoners, to doe his will.
