2Timothy:1-4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Paul ,
an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God ,
according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus ,
*
To Timothy ,
my dearly beloved son :
Grace ,
mercy ,
and peace ,
from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord .
*
I thank (
5719 )
God ,
whom I serve (
5719 )
from my forefathers with pure conscience ,
that without ceasing I have (
5719 )
remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day ;
*
Greatly desiring (
5723 )
to see (
5629 )
thee ,
being mindful (
5772 )
of thy tears ,
that I may be filled (
5686 )
with joy ;
*
When I call (
5723 )
to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee ,
which dwelt (
5656 )
first in thy grandmother Lois ,
and thy mother Eunice ;
and I am persuaded (
5769 )
that in thee also .
*
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance (
5719 )
that thou stir up (
5721 )
the gift of God ,
which is (
5748 )
in thee by the putting on of my hands .
*
For God hath not given (
5656 )
us the spirit of fear ;
but of power ,
and of love ,
and of a sound mind .
*
Be not thou therefore ashamed (
5680 )
of the testimony of our Lord ,
nor of me his prisoner :
but be thou partaker of the afflictions (
5657 )
of the gospel according to the power of God ;
*
Who hath saved (
5660 )
us ,
and called (
5660 )
us with an holy calling ,
not according to our works ,
but according to his own purpose and grace ,
which was given (
5685 )
us in Christ Jesus before the world began ,
*
But is now made manifest (
5685 )
by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ ,
who hath abolished (
5660 )
death ,
and hath brought life and immortality to light (
5660 )
through the gospel :
*
Whereunto I am appointed (
5681 )
a preacher ,
and an apostle ,
and a teacher of the Gentiles .
*
For the which cause I also suffer (
5719 )
these things :
nevertheless I am not ashamed (
5736 ):
for I know (
5758 )
whom I have believed (
5758 ),
and am persuaded (
5769 )
that he is (
5748 )
able to keep (
5658 )
that which I have committed unto him against that day .
*
Hold fast (
5720 )
the form of sound (
5723 )
words ,
which thou hast heard (
5656 )
of me ,
in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus .
*
That good thing which was committed unto thee keep (
5657 )
by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth (
5723 )
in us .
*
This thou knowest (
5758 ),
that all they which are in Asia be turned away from (
5648 )
me ;
of whom are (
5748 )
Phygellus and Hermogenes .
*
The Lord give (
5630 )
mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus ;
for he oft refreshed (
5656 )
me ,
and was not ashamed (
5681 )
of my chain :
*
But ,
when he was (
5637 )
in Rome ,
he sought me out (
5656 )
very diligently ,
and found (
5627 )
me .
*
The Lord grant (
5630 )
unto him that he may find (
5629 )
mercy of the Lord in that day :
and in how many things he ministered unto me (
5656 )
at Ephesus ,
thou knowest (
5719 )
very well .
*
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 .
*
This know (
5720 )
also ,
that in the last days perilous times shall come (
5695 ).
*
For men shall be (
5704 )
lovers of their own selves ,
covetous ,
boasters ,
proud ,
blasphemers ,
disobedient to parents ,
unthankful ,
unholy ,
*
Without natural affection ,
trucebreakers ,
false accusers ,
incontinent ,
fierce ,
despisers of those that are good ,
*
Traitors ,
heady ,
highminded (
5772 ),
lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God ;
*
Having (
5723 )
a form of godliness ,
but denying (
5768 )
the power thereof :
from such turn away (
5732 ).
*
For of this sort are they (
5748 )
which creep (
5723 )
into houses ,
and lead captive (
5723 )
silly women laden (
5772 )
with sins ,
led away (
5746 )
with divers lusts ,
*
Ever learning (
5723 ),
and never able (
5740 )
to come (
5629 )
to the knowledge of the truth .
*
Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood (
5627 )
Moses ,
so do these also resist (
5731 )
the truth :
men of corrupt (
5772 )
minds ,
reprobate concerning the faith .
*
But they shall proceed (
5692 )
no further :
for their folly shall be (
5704 )
manifest unto all men ,
as theirs also was (
5633 ).
*
But thou hast fully known (
5758 )
my doctrine ,
manner of life ,
purpose ,
faith ,
longsuffering ,
charity ,
patience ,
*
Persecutions ,
afflictions ,
which came (
5633 )
unto me at Antioch ,
at Iconium ,
at Lystra ;
what persecutions I endured (
5656 ):
but out of them all the Lord delivered (
5673 )
me .
*
Yea ,
and all that will (
5723 )
live (
5721 )
godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution (
5701 ).
*
But evil men and seducers shall wax (
5692 )
worse and worse ,
deceiving (
5723 ),
and being deceived (
5746 ).
*
But continue (
5720 )
thou in the things which thou hast learned (
5627 )
and hast been assured of (
5681 ),
knowing (
5761 )
of whom thou hast learned (
5627 )
them ;
*
And that from a child thou hast known (
5758 )
the holy scriptures ,
which are able (
5740 )
to make thee wise (
5658 )
unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus .
*
All scripture is given by inspiration of God ,
and is profitable for doctrine ,
for reproof ,
for correction ,
for instruction in righteousness :
*
That the man of God may be (
5753 )
perfect ,
throughly furnished (
5772 )
unto all good works .
*
I charge (
5736 )
thee therefore before God ,
and the Lord Jesus Christ ,
who shall (
5723 )
judge (
5721 )
the quick (
5723 )
and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom ;
*
Preach (
5657 )
the word ;
be instant (
5628 )
in season ,
out of season ;
reprove (
5657 ),
rebuke (
5657 ),
exhort (
5657 )
with all longsuffering and doctrine .
*
For the time will come (
5704 )
when they will not endure (
5695 )
sound (
5723 )
doctrine ;
but after their own lusts shall they heap (
5692 )
to themselves teachers ,
having itching (
5746 )
ears ;
*
And they shall turn away (
5692 )
their ears from the truth ,
and shall be turned (
5691 )
unto fables .
*
But watch (
5720 )
thou in all things ,
endure afflictions (
5657 ),
do (
5657 )
the work of an evangelist ,
make full proof (
5657 )
of thy ministry .
*
For I am now ready to be offered (
5743 ),
and the time of my departure is at hand (
5758 ).
*
I have fought (
5766 )
a good fight ,
I have finished (
5758 )
my course ,
I have kept (
5758 )
the faith :
*
Henceforth there is laid up (
5736 )
for me a crown of righteousness ,
which the Lord ,
the righteous judge ,
shall give (
5692 )
me at that day :
and not to me only ,
but unto all them also that love (
5761 )
his appearing .
*
Do thy diligence (
5657 )
to come (
5629 )
shortly unto me :
*
For Demas hath forsaken (
5627 )
me ,
having loved (
5660 )
this present world ,
and is departed (
5675 )
unto Thessalonica ;
Crescens to Galatia ,
Titus unto Dalmatia .
*
Only Luke is (
5748 )
with me .
Take (
5631 )
Mark ,
and bring him (
5720 )
with thee :
for he is (
5748 )
profitable to me for the ministry .
*
And Tychicus have I sent (
5656 )
to Ephesus .
*
The cloke that I left (
5627 )
at Troas with Carpus ,
when thou comest (
5740 ),
bring (
5720 )
with thee ,
and the books ,
but especially the parchments .
*
Alexander the coppersmith did (
5668 )
me much evil :
the Lord reward (
5630 )
him according to his works :
*
Of whom be thou ware (
5732 )
also ;
for he hath greatly withstood (
5758 )
our words .
*
At my first answer no man stood (
5633 )
with me ,
but all men forsook (
5627 )
me :
I pray God that it may not be laid (
5678 )
to their charge .
*
Notwithstanding the Lord stood (
5627 )
with me ,
and strengthened (
5656 )
me ;
that by me the preaching might be fully known (
5686 ),
and that all the Gentiles might hear (
5661 ):
and I was delivered (
5681 )
out of the mouth of the lion .
*
And the Lord shall deliver (
5695 )
me from every evil work ,
and will preserve (
5692 )
me unto his heavenly kingdom :
to whom be glory for ever and ever .
Amen .
*
Salute (
5663 )
Prisca and Aquila ,
and the household of Onesiphorus .
*
Erastus abode (
5656 )
at Corinth :
but Trophimus have I left (
5627 )
at Miletum sick (
5723 ).
*
Do thy diligence (
5657 )
to come (
5629 )
before winter .
Eubulus greeteth (
5736 )
thee ,
and Pudens ,
and Linus ,
and Claudia ,
and all the brethren .
*
The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit .
Grace be with you .
Amen .
The second epistle unto Timotheus ,
ordained (
5685 )
the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians ,
was written (
5648 )
from Rome ,
when Paul was brought before (
5627 )
Nero the second time .#
