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] 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] not [3756] bound [1210].
10 Therefore [1223] [5124] I endure [5278] all things [3956] for [1588] the elect's [1588] sakes [1223], that [2443] they [846] may [5177] 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] also [2532] live with [4800] him:
12 If [1487] we suffer [5278], we shall [4821] 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] 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 [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 [5607] his [846]. And [2532], Let [868] 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] 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].
