2Timothy 1 1. Paul <3972>, an apostle <652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> by the will <2307> of God <2316>, according <2596> to the promise <1860> of life <2222> which <3588> is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, 2 To Timothy <5095>, [my] dearly beloved <27> son <5043>: Grace <5485>, mercy <1656>, [and] peace <1515>, from God <2316> the Father <3962> and Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> our Lord <2962>. 3 I thank <5485> God <2316>, whom <3739> I serve <3000> from [my] forefathers <4269> with pure <2513> conscience <4893>, that without <88> ceasing <88> I have <2192> remembrance <3417> of thee in my prayers <1162> night <3571> and day <2250>; 4 Greatly <1971> desiring <1971> to see <1492> thee, being mindful <3403> of thy tears <1144>, that I may be filled <4137> with joy <5479>; 5 When I call <2983> to remembrance <5280> the unfeigned <505> faith <4102> that is in thee, which <3748> dwelt <1774> first <4412> in thy grandmother <3125> Lois <3090>, and thy mother <3384> Eunice <2131>; and I am persuaded <3982> that in thee also <2532>. 6. Wherefore <3739> I put <363> thee in remembrance <363> that thou stir <329> up the gift <5486> of God <2316>, which <3739> is in thee by the putting <1936> on <1936> of my hands <5495>. 7 For God <2316> hath not given <1325> us the spirit <4151> of fear <1167>; but of power <1411>, and of love <26>, and of a sound <4995> mind <4995>. 8 Be not thou therefore <3767> ashamed <1870> of the testimony <3142> of our Lord <2962>, nor <3366> of me his prisoner <1198>: but be thou partaker <4777> of the afflictions <4777> of the gospel <2098> according <2596> to the power <1411> of God <2316>; 9 Who <3588> hath saved <4982> us, and called <2564> [us] with an holy <40> calling <2821>, not according <2596> to our works <2041>, but according <2596> to his own <2398> purpose <4286> and grace <5485>, which <3588> was given <1325> us in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> before <4253> the world <166> began, 10 But is now <3568> made <5319> manifest <5319> by the appearing <2015> of our Saviour <4990> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, who hath abolished <2673> death <2288>, and hath brought <5461> life <2222> and immortality <861> to light <5461> through <1223> the gospel <2098>: 11 Whereunto <3739> I am appointed <5087> a preacher <2783>, and an apostle <652>, and a teacher <1320> of the Gentiles <1484>. 12 For the which <3739> cause <156> I also <2532> suffer <3958> these <5023> things: nevertheless <235> I am not ashamed <1870>: for I know <1492> whom <3739> I have believed <4100>, and am persuaded <3982> that he is able <1415> to keep <5442> that which I have committed <3866> unto him against <1519> that day <2250>. 13 Hold <2192> fast the form <5296> of sound <5198> words <3056>, which <3739> thou hast heard <191> of me, in faith <4102> and love <26> which <3588> is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 14 That good <2570> thing which was committed <3872> unto thee keep <5442> by the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> which <3588> dwelleth <1774> in us. 15. This <5124> thou knowest <1492>, that all <3956> they which are in Asia <773> be turned <654> away <654> from me; of whom <3739> are Phygellus <5436> and Hermogenes <2061>. 16 The Lord <2962> give <1325> mercy <1656> unto the house <3624> of Onesiphorus <3683>; for he oft <4178> refreshed <404> me, and was not ashamed <1870> of my chain <254>: 17 But, when he was in Rome <4516>, he sought <2212> me out very <4708> diligently <4706>, and found <2147> [me]. 18 The Lord <2962> grant <1325> unto him that he may find <2147> mercy <1656> of the Lord <2962> in that day <2250>: and in how <3745> many <3745> things he ministered <1247> unto me at <1722> Ephesus <2181>, thou knowest <1097> very <957> well <957>. 2Timothy 2 1. Thou therefore <3767>, my son <5043>, be strong <1743> in the grace <5485> that is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 2 And the things that thou hast heard <191> of me among <1223> many <4183> witnesses <3144>, the same <5023> commit <3908> thou to faithful <4103> men <444>, who <3748> shall be able <2425> to teach <1321> others <2087> also <2532>. 3 Thou therefore <3767> endure <2553> hardness <2553>, as a good <2570> soldier <4757> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>. 4 No <3762> man <3762> that warreth <4754> entangleth <1707> himself with the affairs <4230> of [this] life <979>; that he may please <700> him who hath chosen <4758> him to be a soldier <4758>. 5 And if <1437> a man <5100> also <2532> strive <118> for masteries, [yet] is he not crowned <4737>, except <3362> he strive <118> lawfully <3545>. 6 The husbandman <1092> that laboureth <2872> must <1163> be first <4413> partaker <3335> of the fruits <2590>. 7 Consider <3539> what <3739> I say <3004>; and the Lord <2962> give <1325> thee understanding <4907> in all <3956> things. 8. Remember <3421> that Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> of the seed <4690> of David <1138> was raised <1453> from the dead <3498> according <2596> to my gospel <2098>: 9 Wherein <3757> I suffer <2553> trouble <2553>, as an evil <2557> doer <2557>, [even] unto bonds <1199>; but the word <3056> of God <2316> is not bound <1210>. 10 Therefore I endure <5278> all <3956> things for the elect's <1588> sakes, that they may also <2532> obtain <5177> the salvation <4991> which <3588> is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> with eternal <166> glory <1391>. 11 [It is] a faithful <4103> saying <3056>: For if <1487> we be dead <4880> with [him], we shall also <2532> live <4800> with [him]: 12 If <1487> we suffer <5278>, we shall also <2532> reign <4821> with [him]: if <1487> we deny <720> [him], he also <2548> will deny <720> us: 13 If <1487> we believe <569> not, [yet] he abideth <3306> faithful <4103>: he cannot <1410> deny <720> himself <1438>. 14. Of these <5023> things put <5279> [them] in remembrance <5279>, charging <1263> [them] before <1799> the Lord <2962> that they strive <3054> not about words <3054> to no <3762> profit <5539>, [but] to the subverting <2692> of the hearers <191>. 15 Study <4704> to shew <3936> thyself <4572> approved <1384> unto God <2316>, a workman <2040> that needeth <422> not to be ashamed <422>, rightly dividing <3718> the word <3056> of truth <225>. 16 But shun <4026> profane <952> [and] vain <2757> babblings <2757>: for they will increase <4298> unto more <4119> ungodliness <763>. 17 And their word <3056> will eat <2192> as doth a canker <1044>: of whom <3739> is Hymenaeus <5211> and Philetus <5372>; 18 Who <3748> concerning <4012> the truth <225> have erred <795>, saying <3004> that the resurrection <386> is past <1096> already <2235>; and overthrow <397> the faith <4102> of some <5100>. 19. Nevertheless <3305> the foundation <2310> of God <2316> standeth <2476> sure <4731>, having <2192> this <5026> seal <4973>, The Lord <2962> knoweth <1097> them that are his. And, Let every <3956> one that nameth <3687> the name <3686> of Christ <5547> depart <868> from iniquity <93>. 20 But in a great <3173> house <3614> there are not only <3440> vessels <4632> of gold <5552> and of silver <693>, but also <2532> of wood <3585> and of earth <3749>; and some <3588> to honour <5092>, and some <3588> to dishonour <819>. 21 If <1437> a man <5100> therefore <3767> purge <1571> himself <1438> from these <5130>, he shall be a vessel <4632> unto honour <5092>, sanctified <37>, and meet <2173> for the master's <1203> use, [and] prepared <2090> unto every <3956> good <18> work <2041>. 22. Flee <5343> also <1161> youthful <3512> lusts <1939>: but follow <1377> righteousness <1343>, faith <4102>, charity <26>, peace <1515>, with them that call <1941> on <1941> the Lord <2962> out of a pure <2513> heart <2588>. 23 But foolish <3474> and unlearned <521> questions <2214> avoid <3868>, knowing <1492> that they do gender <1080> strifes <3163>. 24 And the servant <1401> of the Lord <2962> must <1163> not strive <3164>; but be gentle <2261> unto all <3956> [men], apt <1317> to teach <1317>, patient <420>, 25 In meekness <4236> instructing <3811> those <3588> that oppose <475> themselves; if <3379> God <2316> peradventure <3379> will give <1325> them repentance <3341> to the acknowledging <1922> of the truth <225>; 26 And [that] they may recover <366> themselves out of the snare <3803> of the devil <1228>, who are taken <2221> captive <2221> by him at <1519> his will <2307>. 2Timothy 3 1. This <5124> know <1097> also <1161>, that in the last <2078> days <2250> perilous <5467> times <2540> shall come <1764>. 2 For men <444> shall be lovers <5367> of their own selves <5367>, covetous <5366>, boasters <213>, proud <5244>, blasphemers <989>, disobedient <545> to parents <1118>, unthankful <884>, unholy <462>, 3 Without <794> natural affection <794>, trucebreakers <786>, false <1228> accusers <1228>, incontinent <193>, fierce <434>, despisers <865> of those that are good <865>, 4 Traitors <4273>, heady <4312>, highminded <5187>, lovers <5369> of pleasures <5569> more <3123> than <2228> lovers <5377> of God <5377>; 5 Having <2192> a form <3446> of godliness <2150>, but denying <720> the power <1411> thereof <846>: from such <5128> turn <665> away <665>. 6 For of this <5130> sort are they which creep <1519> into <1519> houses <3614>, and lead <162> captive <162> silly <1133> women <1133> laden <4987> with sins <266>, led <71> away with divers <4164> lusts <1939>, 7 Ever <3842> learning <3129>, and never <3368> able <1410> to come <2064> to the knowledge <1922> of the truth <225>. 8 Now <1161> as Jannes <2389> and Jambres <2387> withstood <436> Moses <3475>, so <3779> do these <3778> also <2532> resist <436> the truth <225>: men <444> of corrupt <2704> minds <3563>, reprobate <96> concerning <4012> the faith <4102>. 9 But they shall proceed <4298> no <3756> further <4208>: for their folly <454> shall be manifest <1552> unto all <3956> [men], as theirs <1565> also <2532> was. 10. But thou hast fully <3877> known <3877> my doctrine <1319>, manner <72> of life <72>, purpose <4286>, faith <4102>, longsuffering <3115>, charity <26>, patience <5281>, 11 Persecutions <1375>, afflictions <3804>, which <3634> came <1096> unto me at <1722> Antioch <490>, at <1722> Iconium <2430>, at <1722> Lystra <3082>; what <3634> persecutions <1375> I endured <5297>: but out of [them] all <3956> the Lord <2962> delivered <4506> me. 12 Yea <1161>, and all <3956> that will <2309> live <2198> godly <2153> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> shall suffer <1377> persecution <1377>. 13 But evil <4190> men <444> and seducers <1114> shall wax <4298> worse <5501> and worse <5501>, deceiving <4105>, and being deceived <4105>. 14 But continue <3306> thou in the things which <3739> thou hast learned <3129> and hast been assured <4104> of, knowing <1492> of whom <5101> thou hast learned <3129> [them]; 15 And that from a child <1025> thou hast known <1492> the holy <2413> scriptures <1121>, which <3588> are able <1410> to make <4679> thee wise <4679> unto salvation <4991> through <1223> faith <4102> which <3588> is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. 16 All <3956> scripture <1124> [is] given by inspiration <2315> of God <2315>, and [is] profitable <5624> for doctrine <1319>, for reproof <1650>, for correction <1882>, for instruction <3809> in righteousness <1343>: 17 That the man <444> of God <2316> may be perfect <739>, throughly <1822> furnished <1822> unto all <3956> good <18> works <2041>. 2Timothy 4 1. I charge <1263> [thee] therefore <3767> before <1799> God <2316>, and the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, who <3588> shall judge <2919> the quick <2198> and the dead <3498> at <2596> his appearing <2015> and his kingdom <932>; 2 Preach <2784> the word <3056>; be instant <2186> in season <2121>, out of season <171>; reprove <1651>, rebuke <2008>, exhort <3870> with all <3956> longsuffering and doctrine <1322>. 3 For the time <2540> will come <1511> when <3753> they will not endure <430> sound <5198> doctrine <1319>; but after <2596> their own <2398> lusts <1939> shall they heap <2002> to themselves <1438> teachers <1320>, having itching <2833> ears <189>; 4 And they shall turn <654> away <654> [their] ears <189> from the truth <225>, and shall be turned <654> unto fables <3454>. 5 But watch <3525> thou in all <3956> things, endure <2553> afflictions <2553>, do <4160> the work <2041> of an evangelist <2099>, make <4135> full <4135> proof <4135> of thy ministry <1248>. 6 For I am now <2236> ready <4689> to be offered <4689>, and the time <2540> of my departure <359> is at <2186> hand <2186>. 7 I have fought <75> a good <2570> fight <73>, I have finished <5055> [my] course <1408>, I have kept <5083> the faith <4102>: 8 Henceforth <3063> there is laid <606> up for me a crown <4735> of righteousness <1343>, which <3739> the Lord <2962>, the righteous <1342> judge <2923>, shall give <591> me at <1722> that day <2250>: and not to me only <3440>, but unto all <3956> them also <2532> that love <25> his appearing <2015>. 9. Do <4704> thy diligence <4704> to come <2064> shortly <5030> unto me: 10 For Demas <1214> hath forsaken <1459> me, having loved <25> this <3588> present <3568> world <165>, and is departed <4198> unto Thessalonica <2332>; Crescens <2913> to Galatia <1053>, Titus <5103> unto Dalmatia <1149>. 11 Only <3441> Luke <3065> is with me. Take <353> Mark <3138>, and bring <71> him with thee: for he is profitable <2173> to me for the ministry <1248>. 12 And Tychicus <5190> have I sent <649> to Ephesus <2181>. 13 The cloke <5341> that I left <620> at <1722> Troas <5174> with Carpus <2591>, when thou comest <2064>, bring <5342> [with thee], and the books <975>, [but] especially <3122> the parchments <3200>. 14 Alexander <223> the coppersmith <5471> did <1731> me much <4183> evil <2556>: the Lord <2962> reward <591> him according <2596> to his works <2041>: 15 Of whom <3739> be thou ware <5442> also <2532>; for he hath greatly <3029> withstood <436> our words <3056>. 16. At <1722> my first <4413> answer <627> no <3762> man <3762> stood <4836> with me, but all <3956> [men] forsook <1459> me: [I pray God] that it may not be laid <3049> to their charge <3049>. 17 Notwithstanding the Lord <2962> stood <3936> with me, and strengthened <1743> me; that by me the preaching <2782> might be fully <4135> known <4135>, and [that] all <3956> the Gentiles <1484> might hear <191>: and I was delivered <4506> out of the mouth <4750> of the lion <3023>. 18 And the Lord <2962> shall deliver <4506> me from every <3956> evil <4190> work <2041>, and will preserve <4982> [me] unto his heavenly <2032> kingdom <932>: to whom <3739> [be] glory <1391> for ever <165> and ever <165>. Amen <281>. 19 Salute <782> Prisca <4251> and Aquila <207>, and the household <3624> of Onesiphorus <3683>. 20 Erastus <2037> abode <3306> at <1722> Corinth <2882>: but Trophimus <5161> have I left <620> at <1722> Miletum <3399> sick <770>. 21 Do <4704> thy diligence <4704> to come <2064> before <4253> winter <5494>. Eubulus <2103> greeteth <782> thee, and Pudens <4227>, and Linus <3044>, and Claudia <2803>, and all <3956> the brethren <80>. 22 The Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> [be] with thy spirit <4151>. Grace <5485> [be] with you. Amen <281>. ~~~~~~
