2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
συ ουν τεκνον μου ενδυναμου εν τη χαριτι τη εν χριστω ιησου
2 The things you heard from me among many witnesses, entrust them to faithful people who will be able to teach others also.
και α ηκουσας παρ εμου δια πολλων μαρτυρων ταυτα παραθου πιστοις ανθρωποις οιτινες ικανοι εσονται και ετερους διδαξαι
3 Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
συγκακοπαθησον ως καλος στρατιωτης χριστου ιησου
4 No soldier serves while entangled in the affairs of this life, so that he may please his superior officer.
ουδεις στρατευομενος εμπλεκεται ταις του βιου πραγματειαις ινα τω στρατολογησαντι αρεση
5 Also, if someone competes as an athlete, he is not crowned unless he competes by the rules.
εαν δε και αθλη τις ου στεφανουται εαν μη νομιμως αθληση
6 It is necessary that the hardworking farmer receive his share of the crops first.
τον κοπιωντα γεωργον δει πρωτον των καρπων μεταλαμβανειν
7 Think about what I am saying, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
νοει ο λεγω δωσει γαρ σοι ο κυριος συνεσιν εν πασιν
8 Remember Jesus Christ, from David's seed, who was raised from the dead. This is according to my gospel message,
μνημονευε ιησουν χριστον εγηγερμενον εκ νεκρων εκ σπερματος δαυιδ κατα το ευαγγελιον μου
9 for which I am suffering to the point of being bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound.
εν ω κακοπαθω μεχρι δεσμων ως κακουργος αλλα ο λογος του θεου ου δεδεται
10 Therefore I endure all things for those who are chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
δια τουτο παντα υπομενω δια τους εκλεκτους ινα και αυτοι σωτηριας τυχωσιν της εν χριστω ιησου μετα δοξης αιωνιου (aiōnios g166)
11 This is a trustworthy saying: “If we have died with him, we will also live with him.
πιστος ο λογος ει γαρ συναπεθανομεν και συζησομεν
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
ει υπομενομεν και συμβασιλευσομεν ει αρνησομεθα κακεινος αρνησεται ημας
13 if we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.”
ει απιστουμεν εκεινος πιστος μενει αρνησασθαι γαρ εαυτον ου δυναται
14 Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.
ταυτα υπομιμνησκε διαμαρτυρομενος ενωπιον του θεου μη λογομαχειν επ ουδεν χρησιμον επι καταστροφη των ακουοντων
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no reason to be ashamed, who accurately teaches the word of truth.
σπουδασον σεαυτον δοκιμον παραστησαι τω θεω εργατην ανεπαισχυντον ορθοτομουντα τον λογον της αληθειας
16 Avoid profane talk, which leads to more and more godlessness.
τας δε βεβηλους κενοφωνιας περιιστασο επι πλειον γαρ προκοψουσιν ασεβειας
17 Their talk will spread like cancer. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
και ο λογος αυτων ως γαγγραινα νομην εξει ων εστιν υμεναιος και φιλητος
18 who have gone astray from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already happened, and they destroy the faith of some.
οιτινες περι την αληθειαν ηστοχησαν λεγοντες {VAR2: [την] } αναστασιν ηδη γεγονεναι και ανατρεπουσιν την τινων πιστιν
19 However, the firm foundation of God stands. It has this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his” and “Everyone who names the name of the Lord must depart from unrighteousness.”
ο μεντοι στερεος θεμελιος του θεου εστηκεν εχων την σφραγιδα ταυτην εγνω κυριος τους οντας αυτου και αποστητω απο αδικιας πας ο ονομαζων το ονομα κυριου
20 In a wealthy home, there are not only containers of gold and silver. There are also containers of wood and clay. Some of these are for honorable use, and some for dishonorable.
εν μεγαλη δε οικια ουκ εστιν μονον σκευη χρυσα και αργυρα αλλα και ξυλινα και οστρακινα και α μεν εις τιμην α δε εις ατιμιαν
21 If someone cleans himself from dishonorable use, he is an honorable container. He is set apart, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.
εαν ουν τις εκκαθαρη εαυτον απο τουτων εσται σκευος εις τιμην ηγιασμενον ευχρηστον τω δεσποτη εις παν εργον αγαθον ητοιμασμενον
22 Flee youthful lusts. Pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a clean heart.
τας δε νεωτερικας επιθυμιας φευγε διωκε δε δικαιοσυνην πιστιν αγαπην ειρηνην μετα των επικαλουμενων τον κυριον εκ καθαρας καρδιας
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questions. You know that they give birth to arguments.
τας δε μωρας και απαιδευτους ζητησεις παραιτου ειδως οτι γεννωσιν μαχας
24 The Lord's servant must not quarrel. Instead he must be gentle toward all, able to teach, and patient.
δουλον δε κυριου ου δει μαχεσθαι αλλα ηπιον ειναι προς παντας διδακτικον ανεξικακον
25 He must in meekness educate those who oppose him. God may perhaps give them repentance for the knowledge of the truth.
εν πραυτητι παιδευοντα τους αντιδιατιθεμενους μηποτε δωη αυτοις ο θεος μετανοιαν εις επιγνωσιν αληθειας
26 They may become sober again and leave the devil's trap, after they have been captured by him for his will.
και ανανηψωσιν εκ της του διαβολου παγιδος εζωγρημενοι υπ αυτου εις το εκεινου θελημα
