2 Timothy 2:2-14
-
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.
-
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.
