nkjv 2Timothy:2 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
You therefore ,
my son ,
be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus .
*
And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses ,
commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also .
*
You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ .
*
No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life ,
that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier .
*
And also if anyone competes in athletics ,
he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules .
*
The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops .
*
Consider what I say ,
and may the Lord give you understanding in all things .
*
Remember that Jesus Christ ,
of the seed of David ,
was raised from the dead according to my gospel ,
*
for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer ,
even to the point of chains ;
but the word of God is not chained .
*
Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect ,
that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory .
*
This is a faithful saying :
For if we died with Him ,
We shall also live with Him .
*
If we endure ,
We shall also reign with Him .
If we deny Him ,
He also will deny us .
*
If we are faithless ,
He remains faithful ;
He cannot deny Himself .
*
Remind them of these things ,
charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit ,
to the ruin of the hearers .
*
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God ,
a worker who does not need to be ashamed ,
rightly dividing the word of truth .
*
But shun profane and idle babblings ,
for they will increase to more ungodliness .
*
And their message will spread like cancer .
Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort ,
*
who have strayed concerning the truth ,
saying that the resurrection is already past ;
and they overthrow the faith of some .
*
Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands ,
having this seal : "
The Lord knows those who are His ,"
and , "
Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity ."
*
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver ,
but also of wood and clay ,
some for honor and some for dishonor .
*
Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter ,
he will be a vessel for honor ,
sanctified and useful for the Master ,
prepared for every good work .
*
Flee also youthful lusts ;
but pursue righteousness ,
faith ,
love ,
peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart .
*
But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes ,
knowing that they generate strife .
*
And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all ,
able to teach ,
patient ,
*
in humility correcting those who are in opposition ,
if God perhaps will grant them repentance ,
so that they may know the truth ,
*
and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil ,
having been taken captive by him to do his will .
