* Thou therefore , my son , be strong (5744 ) in the grace that is in Christ Jesus . * And the things that thou hast heard (5656 ) of me among many witnesses , the same commit thou (5639 ) to faithful men , who shall be (5704 ) able to teach (5658 ) others also . * Thou therefore endure hardness (5657 ), as a good soldier of Jesus Christ . * No man that warreth (5734 ) entangleth himself (5743 ) with the affairs of this life ; that he may please (5661 ) him who hath chosen him to be a soldier (5660 ). * And if a man also strive (5725 ) for masteries , yet is he not crowned (5743 ), except he strive (5661 ) lawfully . * The husbandman that laboureth (5723 ) must be (5748 ) first partaker (5721 ) of the fruits . * Consider (5720 ) what I say (5719 ); and the Lord give (5630 ) thee understanding in all things . * Remember (5720 ) that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised (5772 ) from the dead according to my gospel : * Wherein I suffer trouble (5719 ), as an evil doer , even unto bonds ; but the word of God is not bound (5769 ). * Therefore I endure (5719 ) all things for the elects sakes , that they may also obtain (5632 ) the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory . * It is a faithful saying : For if we be dead with (5627 ) him , we shall also live with (5692 ) him : * If we suffer (5719 ), we shall also reign with (5692 ) him : if we deny (5736 ) him , he also will deny (5695 ) us : * If we believe not (5719 ), yet he abideth (5719 ) faithful : he cannot (5736 ) deny (5664 ) himself . * Of these things put them in remembrance (5720 ), charging (5740 ) them before the Lord that they strive not about words (5721 ) to no profit , but to the subverting of the hearers (5723 ). * Study (5657 ) to shew (5658 ) thyself approved unto God , a workman that needeth not to be ashamed , rightly dividing (5723 ) the word of truth . * But shun (5732 ) profane and vain babblings : for they will increase (5692 ) unto more ungodliness . * And their word will eat (5692 ) as doth a canker : of whom is (5748 ) Hymenaeus and Philetus ; * Who concerning the truth have erred (5656 ), saying (5723 ) that the resurrection is past (5755 ) already ; and overthrow (5719 ) the faith of some . * Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth (5707 ) (5758 ) sure , having (5723 ) this seal , The Lord knoweth (5627 ) them that are (5752 ) his . And , Let every one that nameth (5723 ) the name of Christ depart (5628 ) from iniquity . * But in a great house there are (5748 ) not only vessels of gold and of silver , but also of wood and of earth ; and some to honour , and some to dishonour . * If a man therefore purge (5661 ) himself from these , he shall be (5704 ) a vessel unto honour , sanctified (5772 ), and meet for the masters use , and prepared (5772 ) unto every good work . * Flee (5720 ) also youthful lusts : but follow (5720 ) righteousness , faith , charity , peace , with them that call on (5734 ) the Lord out of a pure heart . * But foolish and unlearned questions avoid (5737 ), knowing (5761 ) that they do gender (5719 ) strifes . * And the servant of the Lord must (5748 ) not strive (5738 ); but be (5750 ) gentle unto all men , apt to teach , patient , * In meekness instructing (5723 ) those that oppose themselves (5734 ); if God peradventure will give (5632 ) them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth ; * And that they may recover themselves (5661 ) out of the snare of the devil , who are taken captive (5772 ) by him at his will .
