2 Timothy 2

NASB

2 Timothy 2

Be Strong

^{Tools
1} You therefore, my ^(a)^(A)son, ^(B)be strong in the grace that is in ^(C)Christ Jesus. ^{Tools
2} The things ^(D)which you have heard from me in the presence of ^(E)many witnesses, ^(F)entrust these to ^(G)faithful men who will be ^(H)able to teach others also. ^{Tools
3} ^(I)Suffer hardship with me, as a good ^(J)soldier of ^(K)Christ Jesus. ^{Tools
4} No soldier in active service ^(L)entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier. ^{Tools
5} Also if anyone ^(M)competes as an athlete, he ^(b)does not win the prize unless he competes according to the rules. ^{Tools
6} ^(N)The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops. ^{Tools
7} Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.

^{Tools
8} Remember Jesus Christ, ^(O)risen from the dead, ^(P)descendant of David, ^(Q)according to my gospel, ^{Tools
9} ^(c)for which I ^(R)suffer hardship even to ^(S)imprisonment as a ^(T)criminal; but ^(U)the word of God ^(V)is not imprisoned. ^{Tools
10} For this reason ^(W)I endure all things for ^(X)the sake of those who are chosen, ^(Y)so that they also may obtain the ^(Z)salvation which is in ^(AA)Christ Jesus and with it ^(AB)eternal glory. ^{Tools
11} ^(AC)It is a trustworthy statement:

For ^(AD)if we died with Him, we will also live with Him;

^{Tools
12}

If we endure, ^(AE)we will also reign with Him;
If we ^(d)^(AF)deny Him, He also will deny us;

^{Tools
13}

If we are faithless, ^(AG)He remains faithful, for ^(AH)He cannot deny Himself.

An Unashamed Workman

^{Tools
14} Remind them of these things, and solemnly ^(AI)charge them in the presence of God not to ^(AJ)wrangle about words, which is useless and leads to the ruin of the hearers. ^{Tools
15} Be diligent to ^(AK)present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling ^(AL)the word of truth. ^{Tools
16} But ^(AM)avoid ^(AN)worldly and empty chatter, for ^(e)it will lead to further ungodliness, ^{Tools
17} and their ^(f)talk will spread like ^(g)gangrene. Among them are ^(AO)Hymenaeus and Philetus, ^{Tools
18} men who have gone astray from the truth saying that ^(AP)the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset ^(AQ)the faith of some. ^{Tools
19} Nevertheless, the ^(AR)firm foundation of God stands, having this ^(AS)seal, “^(AT)The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “^(AU)Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness.”

^{Tools
20} Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and ^(AV)some to honor and some to dishonor. ^{Tools
21} Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from ^(AW)these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, ^(AX)prepared for every good work. ^{Tools
22} Now ^(AY)flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, ^(AZ)faith, love and peace, with those who ^(BA)call on the Lord ^(BB)from a pure heart. ^{Tools
23} But refuse foolish and ignorant ^(BC)speculations, knowing that they ^(BD)produce ^(h)quarrels. ^{Tools
24} ^(BE)The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, ^(BF)able to teach, patient when wronged, ^{Tools
25} ^(BG)with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, ^(BH)if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to ^(BI)the knowledge of the truth, ^{Tools
26} and they may come to their senses and escape from ^(BJ)the snare of the devil, having been ^(BK)held captive ⁽ⁱ⁾by him to do his will.
