2 Timothy 2 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Remember Jesus Christ

You therefore^G3767, my child^G5043, be^G1743 strong^G1743 in the grace^G5485 that is in Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424.

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

2Ti 2:3

2Ti 2:3Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

2Ti 2:4

2Ti 2:4No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.

2Ti 2:5

2Ti 2:5And also if anyone competes as an athlete, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.

2Ti 2:6

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

2Ti 2:7

2Ti 2:7Understand what I say, for the Lord will give you insight in everything.

2Ti 2:8

Remember^G3421 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, risen^G1453 from the dead^G3498, of the seed^G4690 of David^G1138, according^G2596 to my gospel^G2098,

2Ti 2:9

2Ti 2:9 [fn]for which I endure hardship even to chains as a criminal. But the word of God has not been chained.

2Ti 2:10

2Ti 2:10For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they also may obtain the salvation, which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

2Ti 2:11

2Ti 2:11It is a trustworthy saying:

For if^G1487 we died^G4880 with Him, we will also^G2532 live^G4800 with Him;

2Ti 2:12

If^G1487 we endure^G5278, we will also^G2532 reign^G4821 with Him;

If^G1487 we will deny^G720 Him, He also^G2548 will deny^G720 us;

2Ti 2:13

If^G1487 we are faithless^G569, He remains^G3306 faithful^G4103, for He cannot^G1410^G3756 deny^G720 Himself^G1438.

Accurately Handle the Word of Truth

2Ti 2:14

Remind^G5279 them of these^G3778 things^G3778, solemnly^G1263 charging^G1263 them in^G1799 the^G1799 presence^G1799 of^G1799 God^G2316 not to dispute^G3054 about^G3054 words^G3054, which is useless^G3762^G5539 and leads to the ruin^G2692 of the hearers^G191.

2Ti 2:15

2Ti 2:15Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.

2Ti 2:16

2Ti 2:16But avoid godless and empty chatter, for [fn]it will lead to further ungodliness,

2Ti 2:17

2Ti 2:17and their word will spread like [fn]gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

2Ti 2:18

2Ti 2:18who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset the faith of some.

2Ti 2:19

2Ti 2:19Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “THE [fn]LORD KNOWS THOSE WHO ARE HIS,” and, “EVERYONE WHO NAMES THE NAME OF THE [fn]LORD is to DEPART FROM WICKEDNESS.”

2Ti 2:20

Now^G1161 in a large^G3173 house^G3614 there are not only^G3440 gold^G5552 and silver^G693 vessels^G4632, but also^G2532 vessels of wood^G3585 and of clay^G3749, and some^G3739 to honor^G5092 and some^G3739 to dishonor^G819.

2Ti 2:21

2Ti 2:21Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, having been prepared for every good work.

2Ti 2:22
