and by the things which you have heard from me through many witnesses. These things encourage faithful men, who shall then be suitable to teach others also.
3 ཏྭཾ ཡཱིཤུཁྲཱིཥྚསྱོཏྟམོ ཡོདྡྷེཝ ཀླེཤཾ སཧསྭ།
Labor like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

Then, too, whoever strives in a competition is not crowned, unless he has competed lawfully.

I labor in this Gospel, even while chained like an evildoer. But the Word of God is not bound.

I endure all things for this reason: for the sake of the elect, so that they, too, may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with heavenly glory. (aiōnios )

Insist on these things, testifying before the Lord. Do not be contentious about words, for this is useful for nothing but the subversion of listeners.
15 ཨཔརཾ ཏྭམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ སཱཀྵཱཏ྄ སྭཾ པརཱིཀྵིཏམ྄ ཨནིནྡནཱིཡཀརྨྨཀཱརིཎཉྩ སཏྱམཏསྱ ཝཱཀྱཱནཱཾ སདྭིབྷཛནེ ནིཔུཎཉྩ དརྴཡིཏུཾ ཡཏསྭ།
Be solicitous in the task of presenting yourself before God as a proven and unashamed worker who has handled the Word of Truth correctly.

But avoid profane or empty talk. For these things advance one greatly in impiety.

And their word spreads like a cancer: among these are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

who have fallen away from the truth by saying that the resurrection is already complete. And so they have subverted the faith of certain persons.
19 ཏཐཱཔཱིཤྭརསྱ བྷིཏྟིམཱུལམ྄ ཨཙལཾ ཏིཥྛཏི ཏསྨིཾཤྩེཡཾ ལིཔི རྨུདྲཱངྐིཏཱ ཝིདྱཏེ། ཡཐཱ, ཛཱནཱཏི པརམེཤསྟུ སྭཀཱིཡཱན྄ སཪྻྭམཱནཝཱན྄། ཨཔགཙྪེད྄ ཨདྷརྨྨཱཙྩ ཡཿ ཀཤྩིཏ྄ ཁྲཱིཥྚནཱམཀྲྀཏ྄༎
But the firm foundation of God remains standing, having this seal: the Lord knows those who are his own, and all who know the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.

But, in a large house, there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also those of wood and of clay; and certainly some are held in honor, but others in dishonor.
21 ཨཏོ ཡདི ཀཤྩིད྄ ཨེཏཱདྲྀཤེབྷྱཿ སྭཾ པརིཥྐརོཏི ཏརྷི ས པཱཝིཏཾ པྲབྷོཿ ཀཱཪྻྱཡོགྱཾ སཪྻྭསཏྐཱཪྻྱཱཡོཔཡུཀྟཾ སམྨཱནཱརྠཀཉྩ བྷཱཛནཾ བྷཝིཥྱཏི།
If anyone, then, will have cleansed himself from these things, he shall be a vessel held in honor, sanctified and useful to the Lord, prepared for every good work.

So then, flee from the desires of your youth, yet truly, pursue justice, faith, hope, charity, and peace, along with those who call upon the Lord from a pure heart.
23 ཨཔརཾ ཏྭམ྄ ཨནརྠཀཱན྄ ཨཛྙཱནཱཾཤྩ པྲཤྣཱན྄ ཝཱགྱུདྡྷོཏྤཱདཀཱན྄ ཛྙཱཏྭཱ དཱུརཱིཀུརུ།
But avoid foolish and undisciplined questions, for you know that these produce strife.

For the servant of the Lord must not be contentious, but instead he must be meek toward everyone, teachable, patient,
25 ཏཐཱ ཀྲྀཏེ ཡདཱིཤྭརཿ སཏྱམཏསྱ ཛྙཱནཱརྠཾ ཏེབྷྱོ མནཿཔརིཝརྟྟནརཱུཔཾ ཝརཾ དདྱཱཏ྄,
correcting with self-restraint those who resist the truth. For at any time God may give them repentance, so as to recognize the truth,
26 ཏརྷི ཏེ ཡེན ཤཡཏཱནེན ནིཛཱབྷིལཱཥསཱདྷནཱཡ དྷྲྀཏཱསྟསྱ ཛཱལཱཏ྄ ཙེཏནཱཾ པྲཱཔྱོདྡྷཱརཾ ལབྡྷུཾ ཤཀྵྱནྟི།
and then they may recover from the snares of the devil, by whom they are held captive at his will.
