tcent 2Timothy:2

tcent@2Timothy:2:1 @ You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

tcent@2Timothy:2:2 @ And the things you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

tcent@2Timothy:2:3 @ Share in hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

tcent@2Timothy:2:4 @ No soldier in active service gets entangled in civilian affairs, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.

tcent@2Timothy:2:5 @ Also if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not win the prize unless he competes according to the rules.

tcent@2Timothy:2:6 @ The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops.

tcent@2Timothy:2:7 @ Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.

tcent@2Timothy:2:8 @ Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descended from David according to my gospel,

tcent@2Timothy:2:9 @ for which I am suffering even to the point of wearing chains like a criminal. But the word of God is not chained.

tcent@2Timothy:2:10 @ Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

tcent@2Timothy:2:11 @ Here is a trustworthy saying:

tcent@2Timothy:2:14 @ Remind them of these things, and charge them in the presence of God to avoid disputing about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.

tcent@2Timothy:2:15 @ Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

tcent@2Timothy:2:16 @ Avoid godless chatter, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,

tcent@2Timothy:2:17 @ and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

tcent@2Timothy:2:18 @ who have gone astray from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and upset the faith of some.

tcent@2Timothy:2:19 @ Nevertheless, God's firm foundation stands, having this seal: »The Lord knows those who are his,« and, »Everyone who names the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.«

tcent@2Timothy:2:20 @ In a large house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and earthenware, and some for noble use, some for ignoble.

tcent@2Timothy:2:21 @ If anyone cleanses himself from what is ignoble, he will be a vessel for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

tcent@2Timothy:2:22 @ Now flee from youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

tcent@2Timothy:2:23 @ Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know that they produce quarrels.

tcent@2Timothy:2:24 @ And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome, but he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, patient when wronged,

tcent@2Timothy:2:25 @ with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God will grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth,

tcent@2Timothy:2:26 @ and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.
