1 Thou 4771 therefore 3767, my 3450 son 5043, be strong 1743 in 1722 the grace 5485 that is in 1722 Christ 5547 Jesus 2424.
2 And 2532 the things 3739 that thou hast heard 191 of 3844 me 1700 among 1223 many 4183 witnesses 3144, the same 5023 commit thou 3908 to faithful 4103 men 444, who 3748 shall be 2071 able 2425 to teach 1321 others 2087 also 2532.
3 Thou 4771 therefore 3767 endure hardness 2553, as 5613 a good 2570 soldier 4757 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547.
4 No man 3762 that warreth 4754 entangleth himself 1707 with the affairs 4230 of this life 979; that 2443 he may please 700 him who hath chosen him to be a soldier 4758.
5 And 1161 if 1437 a man 5100 also 2532 strive 118 for masteries, yet is he 4737 0 not 3756 crowned 4737, except 3362 he strive 118 lawfully 3545.
6 The husbandman 1092 that laboureth 2872 must be 1163 first 4413 partaker 3335 of the fruits 2590.
7 Consider 3539 what 3739 I say 3004; and 1063 the Lord 2962 give 1325 thee 4671 understanding 4907 in 1722 all things 3956.
8 Remember 3421 that Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 of 1537 the seed 4690 of David 1138 was raised 1453 from 1537 the dead 3498 according to 2596 my 3450 gospel 2098:
9 Wherein 1722 3739 I suffer trouble 2553, as 5613 an evil doer 2557, even unto 3360 bonds 1199; but 235 the word 3056 of God 2316 is 1210 0 not 3756 bound 1210.
10 Therefore 1223 5124 I endure 5278 all things 3956 for the elect's sakes 1223 1588, that 2443 they 846 may 5177 0 also 2532 obtain 5177 the salvation 4991 which 3588 is in 1722 Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 with 3326 eternal 166 glory 1391.
11 It is a faithful 4103 saying 3056: For 1063 if 1487 we be dead with 4880 him, we shall 4800 0 also 2532 live with 4800 him:
12 If 1487 we suffer 5278, we shall 4821 0 also 2532 reign with 4821 him: if 1487 we deny 720 him, he also 2548 will deny 720 us 2248:
13 If 1487 we believe not 569, yet he 1565 abideth 3306 faithful 4103: he cannot 3756 1410 deny 720 himself 1438.
14 Of these things 5023 put them in remembrance 5279, charging 1263 them before 1799 the Lord 2962 that they strive 3054 0 not 3361 about words 3054 to 1519 no 3762 profit 5539, but to 1909 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 not to be ashamed 422, rightly dividing 3718 the word 3056 of truth 225.
16 But 1161 shun 4026 profane 952 and vain babblings 2757: for 1063 they will increase 4298 unto 1909 more 4119 ungodliness 763.
17 And 2532 their 846 word 3056 will eat 2192 3542 as 5613 doth a canker 1044: of whom 3739 is 2076 Hymenaeus 5211 and 2532 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 2532 overthrow 396 the faith 4102 of some 5100.
19 Nevertheless 3303 3305 5104 the foundation 2310 of God 2316 standeth 2476 sure 4731, having 2192 this 5026 seal 4973, The Lord 2962 knoweth 1097 them that are 5607 his 848. And 2532, Let 868 0 every one 3956 that nameth 3687 the name 3686 of Christ 5547 depart 868 from 575 iniquity 93.
20 But 1161 in 1722 a great 3173 house 3614 there are 2076 not 3756 only 3440 vessels 4632 of gold 5552 and 2532 of silver 693, but 235 also 2532 of wood 3585 and 2532 of earth 3749; and 2532 some 3739 3303 to 1519 honour 5092, and 1161 some 3739 to 1519 dishonour 819.
21 If 1437 a man 5100 therefore 3767 purge 1571 himself 1438 from 575 these 5130, he shall be 2071 a vessel 4632 unto 1519 honour 5092, sanctified 37, and 2532 meet 2173 for the master's use 1203, and prepared 2090 unto 1519 every 3956 good 18 work 2041.
22 Flee 5343 also 1161 youthful 3512 lusts 1939: but 1161 follow 1377 righteousness 1343, faith 4102, charity 26, peace 1515, with 3326 them that call on 1941 the Lord 2962 out of 1537 a pure 2513 heart 2588.
23 But 1161 foolish 3474 and 2532 unlearned 521 questions 2214 avoid 3868, knowing 1492 that 3754 they do gender 1080 strifes 3163.
24 And 1161 the servant 1401 of the Lord 2962 must 1163 not 3756 strive 3164; but 235 be 1511 gentle 2261 unto 4314 all 3956 men, apt to teach 1317, patient 420,
25 In 1722 meekness 4236 instructing 3811 those that oppose themselves 475; if 3379 0 God 2316 peradventure 3379 will give 1325 them 846 repentance 3341 to 1519 the acknowledging 1922 of the truth 225;
26 And 2532 that they may recover themselves 366 out of 1537 the snare 3803 of the devil 1228, who are taken captive 2221 by 5259 him 846 at 1519 his 1565 will 2307.
