The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy

King James Version :: World English Bible Catholic

- Kapitel 2 -

(Hebrews 12:1–3)
1
Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2
And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5
And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6
The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7
Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
8
Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
9
Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10
Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11
It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13
If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

The Lord’s Approved Workman

14
Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17
And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus;
18
Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
22
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
24
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25
In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
(Hebrews 12:1–3)
1
You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2
The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same things to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
3
You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4
No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
5
Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
6
The farmer who labors must be the first to get a share of the crops.
7
Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
8
Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the offspring(a) of David, according to my Good News,
9
in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.
10
Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11
This saying is trustworthy:For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
12
If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
13
If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can’t deny himself.”

The Lord’s Approved Workman

14
Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord that they don’t argue about words to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
15
Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.
16
But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,
17
and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:
18
men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
19
However, Gods firm foundation stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,”(b) and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord (c) depart from unrighteousness.”
20
Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor and some for dishonor.
21
If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.
22
Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23
But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
24
The Lords servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,
25
in gentleness correcting those who oppose him. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
26
and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
