¹ G4771 Thou G3767 therefore G3450 , my G5043 son G1743 , be strong [G5744]   G1722 in G5485 the grace G1722 that is in G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus.

² G2532 And G3739 the things G191 that thou hast heard [G5656]   G3844 of G1700 me G1223 among G4183 many G3144 witnesses G5023 , the same G3908 commit thou [G5639]   G4103 to faithful G444 men G3748 , who G2071 shall be [G5704]   G2425 able G1321 to teach [G5658]   G2087 others G2532 also.

³ G4771 Thou G3767 therefore G2553 endure hardness [G5657]   G5613 , as G2570 a good G4757 soldier G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ.

⁴ G3762 No man G4754 that warreth [G5734]   G1707 entangleth himself [G5743]   G4230 with the affairs G979 of this life G2443 ; that G700 he may please [G5661]   G4758 him who hath chosen him to be a soldier [G5660]  .

⁵ G1161 And G1437 if G5100 a man G2532 also G118 strive [G5725]   G4737 for masteries, yet is he G3756 not G4737 crowned [G5743]   G3362 , except G118 he strive [G5661]   G3545 lawfully.

⁶ G1092 The husbandman G2872 that laboureth [G5723]   G1163 must be [G5748]   G4413 first G3335 partaker [G5721]   G2590 of the fruits.

⁷ G3539 Consider [G5720]   G3739 what G3004 I say [G5719]   G1063 ; and G2962 the Lord G1325 give [G5630]   G4671 thee G4907 understanding G1722 in G3956 all things.

⁸ G3421 Remember [G5720]   G2424 that Jesus G5547 Christ G1537 of G4690 the seed G1138 of David G1453 was raised [G5772]   G1537 from G3498 the dead G2596 according to G3450 my G2098 gospel:

⁹ G1722 Wherein G3739   G2553 I suffer trouble [G5719]   G5613 , as G2557 an evil doer G3360 , even unto G1199 bonds G235 ; but G3056 the word G2316 of God G1210 is G3756 not G1210 bound [G5769]  .

¹⁰ G1223 Therefore G5124   G5278 I endure [G5719]   G3956 all things G1588 for G1588 the elect's G1223 sakes G2443 , that G846 they G5177 may G2532 also G5177 obtain [G5632]   G4991 the salvation G3588 which G1722 is in G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus G3326 with G166 eternal G1391 glory.

¹¹ G4103 It is a faithful G3056 saying G1063 : For G1487 if G4880 we be dead with [G5627]   G4800 him, we shall G2532 also G4800 live with [G5692]   him :

¹² G1487 If G5278 we suffer [G5719]   G4821 , we shall G2532 also G4821 reign with [G5692]   G1487 him : if G720 we deny [G5736]   G2548 him, he also G720 will deny [G5695]   G2248 us:

¹³ G1487 If G569 we believe not [G5719]   G1565 , yet he G3306 abideth [G5719]   G4103 faithful G3756 : he cannot G1410   [G5736]   G720 deny [G5664]   G1438 himself.

¹⁴ G5023 Of these things G5279 put them in remembrance [G5720]   G1263 , charging [G5740]   G1799 them before G2962 the Lord G3054 that they strive G3361 not G3054 about words [G5721]   G1519 to G3762 no G5539 profit G1909 , but to G2692 the subverting G191 of the hearers [G5723]  .

¹⁵ G4704 Study [G5657]   G3936 to shew [G5658]   G4572 thyself G1384 approved G2316 unto God G2040 , a workman G422 that needeth not to be ashamed G3718 , rightly dividing [G5723]   G3056 the word G225 of truth.

¹⁶ G1161 But G4026 shun [G5732]   G952 profane G2757 and vain babblings G1063 : for G4298 they will increase [G5692]   G1909 unto G4119 more G763 ungodliness.

¹⁷ G2532 And G846 their G3056 word G2192 will eat [G5692]   G3542   G5613 as G1044 doth a canker G3739 : of whom G2076 is [G5748]   G5211 Hymenaeus G2532 and G5372 Philetus;

¹⁸ G3748 Who G4012 concerning G225 the truth G795 have erred [G5656]   G3004 , saying [G5723]   G386 that the resurrection G1096 is past [G5755]   G2235 already G2532 ; and G396 overthrow [G5719]   G4102 the faith G5100 of some.

¹⁹ G3305 Nevertheless G2310 the foundation G2316 of God G2476 standeth [G5707]   [G5758]   G4731 sure G2192 , having [G5723]   G5026 this G4973 seal G2962 , The Lord G1097 knoweth [G5627]   G5607 them that are [G5752]   G846 his G2532 . And G868 , Let G3956 every one G3687 that nameth [G5723]   G3686 the name G5547 of Christ G868 depart [G5628]   G575 from G93 iniquity.

²⁰ G1161 But G1722 in G3173 a great G3614 house G2076 there are [G5748]   G3756 not G3440 only G4632 vessels G5552 of gold G2532 and G693 of silver G235 , but G2532 also G3585 of wood G2532 and G3749 of earth G2532 ; and G3739 some G3303   G1519 to G5092 honour G1161 , and G3739 some G1519 to G819 dishonour.

²¹ G1437 If G5100 a man G3767 therefore G1571 purge [G5661]   G1438 himself G575 from G5130 these G2071 , he shall be [G5704]   G4632 a vessel G1519 unto G5092 honour G37 , sanctified [G5772]   G2532 , and G2173 meet G1203 for the master's use G2090 , and prepared [G5772]   G1519 unto G3956 every G18 good G2041 work.

²² G5343 Flee [G5720]   G1161 also G3512 youthful G1939 lusts G1161 : but G1377 follow [G5720]   G1343 righteousness G4102 , faith G26 , charity G1515 , peace G3326 , with G1941 them that call on [G5734]   G2962 the Lord G1537 out of G2513 a pure G2588 heart.

²³ G1161 But G3474 foolish G2532 and G521 unlearned G2214 questions G3868 avoid [G5737]   G1492 , knowing [G5761]   G3754 that G1080 they do gender [G5719]   G3163 strifes.

²⁴ G1161 And G1401 the servant G2962 of the Lord G1163 must [G5748]   G3756 not G3164 strive [G5738]   G235 ; but G1511 be [G5750]   G2261 gentle G4314 unto G3956 all G1317 men, apt to teach G420 , patient,

²⁵ G1722 In G4236 meekness G3811 instructing [G5723]   G475 those that oppose themselves [G5734]   G3379 ; if G2316 God G3379 peradventure G1325 will give [G5632]   G846 them G3341 repentance G1519 to G1922 the acknowledging G225 of the truth;

²⁶ G2532 And G366 that they may recover themselves [G5661]   G1537 out of G3803 the snare G1228 of the devil G2221 , who are taken captive [G5772]   G5259 by G846 him G1519 at G1565 his G2307 will.
