2TI 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to *3972 *0652 *2424 *5547 *2307 *2316 *2596 the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, *1860 *2222 *3588 *5547 *2424 2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the *5095 *0027 *5043 *5485 *1656 *1515 *2316 Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. *3962 *5547 *2424 *2962 3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that *5485 *2316 *3739 *3000 *4269 *2513 *4893 without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day; *0088 *0088 *2192 *3417 *1162 *3571 *2250 4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be *1971 *1971 *1492 *3403 *1144 filled with joy; *4137 *5479 5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which *2983 *5280 *0505 *4102 *3748 dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am *1774 *4412 *3125 *3090 *3384 *2131 persuaded that in thee also. *3982 *2532 6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, *3739 *0363 *0363 *0329 *5486 *2316 which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. *3739 *1936 *1936 *5495 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, *2316 *1325 *4151 *1167 *1411 *0026 and of a sound mind. *4995 *4995 8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me *3767 *1870 *3142 *2962 *3366 his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel *1198 *4777 *4777 *2098 according to the power of God; *2596 *1411 *2316 9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to *3588 *4982 *2564 *0040 *2821 *2596 our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us *2041 *2596 *2398 *4286 *5485 *3588 *1325 in Christ Jesus before the world began, *5547 *2424 *4253 *0166 10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, *3568 *5319 *5319 *2015 *4990 *2424 *5547 who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light *2673 *2288 *5461 *2222 *0861 *5461 through the gospel: *1223 *2098 11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of *3739 *5087 *2783 *0652 *1320 the Gentiles. *1484 12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not *3739 *0156 *2532 *3958 *5023 *0235 ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able *1870 *1492 *3739 *4100 *3982 *1415 to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. *5442 *3866 *1519 *2250 13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith *2192 *5296 *5198 *3056 *3739 *0191 *4102 and love which is in Christ Jesus. *0026 *3588 *5547 *2424 14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost *2570 *3872 *5442 *0040 *4151 which dwelleth in us. *3588 *1774 15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from *5124 *1492 *3956 *0773 *0654 *0654 me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. *3739 *5436 *2061 16 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed *2962 *1325 *1656 *3624 *3683 *4178 *0404 me, and was not ashamed of my chain: *1870 *0254 17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me. *4516 *2212 *4708 *4706 *2147 18 The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: *2962 *1325 *2147 *1656 *2962 *2250 and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest *3745 *3745 *1247 *1722 *2181 *1097 very well. *0957 *0957 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. *3767 *5043 *1743 *5485 *5547 *2424 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same *0191 *1223 *4183 *3144 *5023 commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. *3908 *4103 *0444 *3748 *2425 *1321 *2087 *2532 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. *3767 *2553 *2553 *2570 *4757 *2424 *5547 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; *3762 *3762 *4754 *1707 *4230 *0979 that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. *0700 *4758 *4758 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except *1437 *5100 *2532 *0118 *4737 *3362 he strive lawfully. *0118 *3545 6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. *1092 *2872 *1163 *4413 *3335 *2590 7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. *3539 *3739 *3004 *2962 *1325 *4907 *3956 8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead *3421 *2424 *5547 *4690 *1138 *1453 *3498 according to my gospel: *2596 *2098 9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word *3757 *2553 *2553 *2557 *2557 *1199 *3056 of God is not bound. *2316 *1210 10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also *5278 *3956 *1588 *2532 obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. *5177 *4991 *3588 *5547 *2424 *0166 *1391 11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also *4103 *3056 *1487 *4880 *2532 live with him: *4800 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also *1487 *5278 *2532 *4821 *1487 *0720 *2548 will deny us: *0720 13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. *1487 *0569 *3306 *4103 *1410 *0720 *1438 14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord *5023 *5279 *5279 *1263 *1799 *2962 that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of *3054 *3054 *3762 *5539 *2692 the hearers. *0191 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to *4704 *3936 *4572 *1384 *2316 *2040 *0422 be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. *0422 *3718 *3056 *0225 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more *4026 *0952 *2757 *2757 *4298 *4119 ungodliness. *0763 17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and *3056 *2192 *1044 *3739 *5211 Philetus; *5372 18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is *3748 *4012 *0225 *0795 *3004 *0386 past already; and overthrow the faith of some. *1096 *2235 *0397 *4102 *5100 19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The *3305 *2310 *2316 *2476 *4731 *2192 *5026 *4973 Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of *2962 *1097 *3956 *3687 *3686 Christ depart from iniquity. *5547 *0868 *0093 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, *3173 *3614 *3440 *4632 *5552 *0693 but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. *2532 *3585 *3749 *3588 *5092 *3588 *0819 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel *1437 *5100 *3767 *1571 *1438 *5130 *4632 unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto *5092 *0037 *2173 *1203 *2090 every good work. *3956 *0018 *2041 22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, *5343 *1161 *3512 *1939 *1377 *1343 *4102 *0026 peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. *1515 *1941 *1941 *2962 *2513 *2588 23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender *3474 *0521 *2214 *3868 *1492 *1080 strifes. *3163 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, *1401 *2962 *1163 *3164 *2261 *3956 apt to teach, patient, *1317 *1317 *0420 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God *4236 *3811 *3588 *0475 *3379 *2316 peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; *3379 *1325 *3341 *1922 *0225 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who *0366 *3803 *1228 are taken captive by him at his will. *2221 *2221 *1519 *2307 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. *5124 *1097 *1161 *2078 *2250 *5467 *2540 *1764 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, *0444 *5367 *5367 *5566 *0213 *5244 blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, *0989 *0545 *1118 *0884 *0462 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, *0794 *0794 *0786 *1228 *1228 *0193 fierce, despisers of those that are good, *0434 *0865 *0865 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; *4273 *4312 *5187 *5369 *5569 *3123 *2228 *5377 *5377 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn *2192 *3446 *2150 *0720 *1411 *0846 *5128 *0665 away. *0665 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly *5130 *1519 *1519 *3614 *0162 *0162 *1133 women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, *1133 *4987 *0266 *0071 *4164 *1939 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. *3842 *3129 *3368 *1410 *2064 *1922 *0225 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the *1161 *2389 *2387 *0436 *3475 *3779 *3778 *2532 *0436 truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. *0225 *0444 *2704 *3563 *0096 *4012 *4102 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest *4298 *3756 *4208 *0454 *1552 unto all men, as theirs also was. *3956 *1565 *2532 10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, *3877 *3877 *1319 *0072 *0072 *4286 *4102 longsuffering, charity, patience, *3115 *0026 *5281 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, *1375 *3804 *3634 *1096 *1722 *0490 *1722 *2430 at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord *1722 *3082 *3634 *1375 *5297 *3956 *2962 delivered me. *4506 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer *1161 *3956 *2309 *2198 *2153 *5547 *2424 *1377 persecution. *1377 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and *4190 *0444 *1114 *4298 *5501 *5501 *4105 being deceived. *4105 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been *3306 *3739 *3129 assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; *4104 *1492 *5101 *3129 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are *1025 *1492 *2413 *1121 *3588 able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ *1410 *4679 *4679 *4991 *1223 *4102 *3588 *5547 Jesus. *2424 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for *3956 *1124 *2315 *2315 *5624 doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: *1319 *1650 *1882 *3809 *1343 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good *0444 *2316 *0739 *1822 *1822 *3956 *0018 works. *2041 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall *1263 *3767 *1799 *2316 *2962 *2424 *5547 *3588 judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; *2919 *2198 *3498 *2596 *2015 *0932 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, *2784 *3056 *2186 *2121 *0171 *1651 *2008 exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. *3870 *3956 *1322 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but *2540 *1511 *3753 *0430 *5198 *1319 after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having *2596 *2398 *1939 *2002 *1438 *1320 itching ears; *2833 *0189 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned *0654 *0654 *0189 *0225 *0654 unto fables. *3454 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an *3525 *3956 *2553 *2553 *4160 *2041 evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. *2099 *4135 *4135 *4136 *1248 6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at *2236 *4689 *4689 *2540 *0359 *2186 hand. *2186 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the *0075 *2570 *0073 *5055 *1408 *5083 faith: *4102 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the *3063 *0606 *4735 *1343 *3739 Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, *2962 *1342 *2923 *0591 *1722 *2250 *3440 but unto all them also that love his appearing. *3956 *2532 *0025 *2015 9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: *4704 *4704 *2064 *5030 10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is *1214 *1459 *0025 *3588 *3568 *0165 departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. *4198 *2332 *2913 *1053 *5103 *1149 11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is *3441 *3065 *0353 *3138 *0071 profitable to me for the ministry. *2173 *1248 12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. *5190 *0649 *2181 13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring *5341 *0620 *1722 *5174 *2591 *2064 *5342 with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments. *0975 *3122 *3200 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him *0223 *5471 *1731 *4183 *2556 *2962 *0591 according to his works: *2596 *2041 15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words. *3739 *5442 *2532 *3029 *0436 *3056 16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I *1722 *4413 *0627 *3762 *3762 *4836 *3956 *1459 pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. *3049 *3049 17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me *2962 *3936 *1743 the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: *2782 *4135 *4135 *3956 *1484 *0191 and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. *4506 *4750 *3023 18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me *2962 *4506 *3956 *4190 *2041 *4982 unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. *2032 *0932 *3739 *1391 *0165 *0165 *0281 19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. *0782 *4251 *0207 *3624 *3683 20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick. *2037 *3306 *1722 *2882 *5161 *0620 *1722 *3399 *0770 21 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and *4704 *4704 *2064 *4253 *5494 *2103 *0782 Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. *4227 *3044 *2803 *3956 *0080 22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. *2962 *2424 *5547 *4151 *5485 *0281 ~~~~~~
