¹You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

KJVThou^G4771 therefore^G3767, my^G3450 son^G5043, be strong^G1743^(G5744) in^G1722 the grace^G5485 that is in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424.

² The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same things to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

KJVAnd^G2532 the things^G3739 that thou hast heard^G191^(G5656) of^G3844 me^G1700 among^G1223 many^G4183 witnesses^G3144, the same^G5023 commit thou^G3908^(G5639) to faithful^G4103 men^G444, who^G3748 shall be^G2071^(G5704) able^G2425 to teach^G1321^(G5658) others^G2087 also^G2532.

³ You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

KJVThou^G4771 therefore^G3767 endure hardness^G2553^(G5657), as^G5613 a good^G2570 soldier^G4757 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

⁴ No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.

KJVNo man^G3762 that warreth^G4754^(G5734) entangleth himself^G1707^(G5743) with the affairs^G4230 of this life^G979; that^G2443 he may please^G700^(G5661) him who hath chosen him to be a soldier^G4758^(G5660).

⁵ Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.

KJVAnd^G1161 if^G1437 a man^G5100 also^G2532 strive^G118^(G5725) for masteries, yet is he^G4737 not^G3756 crowned^G4737^(G5743), except^G3362 he strive^G118^(G5661) lawfully^G3545.

⁶ The farmer who labors must be the first to get a share of the crops.

KJVThe husbandman^G1092 that laboureth^G2872^(G5723) must be^G1163^(G5748) first^G4413 partaker^G3335^(G5721) of the fruits^G2590.

⁷ Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.

KJVConsider^G3539^(G5720) what^G3739 I say^G3004^(G5719); and^G1063 the Lord^G2962 give^G1325^(G5630) thee^G4671 understanding^G4907 in^G1722 all things^G3956.

⁸ Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the offspring of David, according to my Good News,

KJVRemember^G3421^(G5720) that Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 of^G1537 the seed^G4690 of David^G1138 was raised^G1453^(G5772) from^G1537 the dead^G3498 according to^G2596 my^G3450 gospel^G2098:

⁹ in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.

KJVWherein^G1722^G3739 I suffer trouble^G2553^(G5719), as^G5613 an evil doer^G2557, even unto^G3360 bonds^G1199; but^G235 the word^G3056 of God^G2316 is^G1210 not^G3756 bound^G1210^(G5769).

¹⁰ Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

KJVTherefore^G1223^G5124 I endure^G5278^(G5719) all things^G3956 for^G1588 the elect's^G1588 sakes^G1223, that^G2443 they^G846 may^G5177 also^G2532 obtain^G5177^(G5632) the salvation^G4991 which^G3588 is in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424 with^G3326 eternal^G166 glory^G1391.

¹¹ This saying is trustworthy: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him.

KJVIt is a faithful^G4103 saying^G3056: For^G1063 if^G1487 we be dead with^G4880^(G5627) him, we shall^G4800 also^G2532 live with^G4800^(G5692) him:

¹² If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.

KJVIf^G1487 we suffer^G5278^(G5719), we shall^G4821 also^G2532 reign with^G4821^(G5692) him: if^G1487 we deny^G720^(G5736) him, he also^G2548 will deny^G720^(G5695) us^G2248:

¹³ If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can’t deny himself.”

KJVIf^G1487 we believe not^G569^(G5719), yet he^G1565 abideth^G3306^(G5719) faithful^G4103: he cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) deny^G720^(G5664) himself^G1438.

¹⁴ Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord that they don’t argue about words to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.

KJVOf these things^G5023 put them in remembrance^G5279^(G5720), charging^G1263^(G5740) them before^G1799 the Lord^G2962 that they strive^G3054 not^G3361 about words^G3054^(G5721) to^G1519 no^G3762 profit^G5539, but to^G1909 the subverting^G2692 of the hearers^G191^(G5723).

¹⁵ Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

KJVStudy^G4704^(G5657) to shew^G3936^(G5658) thyself^G4572 approved^G1384 unto God^G2316, a workman^G2040 that needeth not to be ashamed^G422, rightly dividing^G3718^(G5723) the word^G3056 of truth^G225.

¹⁶ But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,

KJVBut^G1161 shun^G4026^(G5732) profane^G952 and vain babblings^G2757: for^G1063 they will increase^G4298^(G5692) unto^G1909 more^G4119 ungodliness^G763.

¹⁷ and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:

KJVAnd^G2532 their^G846 word^G3056 will eat^G2192^(G5692)^G3542 as^G5613 doth a canker^G1044: of whom^G3739 is^G2076^(G5748) Hymenaeus^G5211 and^G2532 Philetus^G5372;

¹⁸ men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.

KJVWho^G3748 concerning^G4012 the truth^G225 have erred^G795^(G5656), saying^G3004^(G5723) that the resurrection^G386 is past^G1096^(G5755) already^G2235; and^G2532 overthrow^G396^(G5719) the faith^G4102 of some^G5100.

¹⁹ However, God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”

KJVNevertheless^G3305 the foundation^G2310 of God^G2316 standeth^G2476^(G5707)^(G5758) sure^G4731, having^G2192^(G5723) this^G5026 seal^G4973, The Lord^G2962 knoweth^G1097^(G5627) them that are^G5607^(G5752) his^G846. And^G2532, Let^G868 every one^G3956 that nameth^G3687^(G5723) the name^G3686 of Christ^G5547 depart^G868^(G5628) from^G575 iniquity^G93.

²⁰ Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor and some for dishonor.

KJVBut^G1161 in^G1722 a great^G3173 house^G3614 there are^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 only^G3440 vessels^G4632 of gold^G5552 and^G2532 of silver^G693, but^G235 also^G2532 of wood^G3585 and^G2532 of earth^G3749; and^G2532 some^G3739^G3303 to^G1519 honour^G5092, and^G1161 some^G3739 to^G1519 dishonour^G819.

²¹ If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.

KJVIf^G1437 a man^G5100 therefore^G3767 purge^G1571^(G5661) himself^G1438 from^G575 these^G5130, he shall be^G2071^(G5704) a vessel^G4632 unto^G1519 honour^G5092, sanctified^G37^(G5772), and^G2532 meet^G2173 for the master's use^G1203, and prepared^G2090^(G5772) unto^G1519 every^G3956 good^G18 work^G2041.

²² Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

KJVFlee^G5343^(G5720) also^G1161 youthful^G3512 lusts^G1939: but^G1161 follow^G1377^(G5720) righteousness^G1343, faith^G4102, charity^G26, peace^G1515, with^G3326 them that call on^G1941^(G5734) the Lord^G2962 out of^G1537 a pure^G2513 heart^G2588.

²³ But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.

KJVBut^G1161 foolish^G3474 and^G2532 unlearned^G521 questions^G2214 avoid^G3868^(G5737), knowing^G1492^(G5761) that^G3754 they do gender^G1080^(G5719) strifes^G3163.

²⁴ The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,

KJVAnd^G1161 the servant^G1401 of the Lord^G2962 must^G1163^(G5748) not^G3756 strive^G3164^(G5738); but^G235 be^G1511^(G5750) gentle^G2261 unto^G4314 all^G3956 men, apt to teach^G1317, patient^G420,

²⁵ in gentleness correcting those who oppose him. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,

KJVIn^G1722 meekness^G4236 instructing^G3811^(G5723) those that oppose themselves^G475^(G5734); if^G3379 God^G2316 peradventure^G3379 will give^G1325^(G5632) them^G846 repentance^G3341 to^G1519 the acknowledging^G1922 of the truth^G225;

²⁶ and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to do his will.

KJVAnd^G2532 that they may recover themselves^G366^(G5661) out of^G1537 the snare^G3803 of the devil^G1228, who are taken captive^G2221^(G5772) by^G5259 him^G846 at^G1519 his^G1565 will^G2307.

KJVTo Timothy^G5095, my dearly beloved^G27 son^G5043: Grace^G5485, mercy^G1656, and peace^G1515, from^G575 God^G2316 the Father^G3962 and^G2532 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424 our^G2257 Lord^G2962.

³ I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day

KJVI thank^G2192^(G5719)^G5485 God^G2316, whom^G3739 I serve^G3000^(G5719) from^G575 my forefathers^G4269 with^G1722 pure^G2513 conscience^G4893, that^G5613 without ceasing^G88 I have^G2192^(G5719) remembrance^G3417 of^G4012 thee^G4675 in^G1722 my^G3450 prayers^G1162 night^G3571 and^G2532 day^G2250;

⁴ longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;

KJVGreatly desiring^G1971^(G5723) to see^G1492^(G5629) thee^G4571, being mindful^G3415^(G5772) of thy^G4675 tears^G1144, that^G2443 I may be filled^G4137^(G5686) with joy^G5479;

⁵ having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, in you also.

KJVWhen I call^G2983^(G5723) to remembrance^G5280 the unfeigned^G505 faith^G4102 that is in^G1722 thee^G4671, which^G3748 dwelt^G1774^(G5656) first^G4412 in^G1722 thy^G4675 grandmother^G3125 Lois^G3090, and^G2532 thy^G4675 mother^G3384 Eunice^G2131; and^G1161 I am persuaded^G3982^(G5769) that^G3754 in^G1722 thee^G4671 also^G2532.

⁶ For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

KJVWherefore^G1223^G3739^G156 I put^G363 thee^G4571 in remembrance^G363^(G5719) that thou stir up^G329^(G5721) the gift^G5486 of God^G2316, which^G3739 is^G2076^(G5748) in^G1722 thee^G4671 by^G1223 the putting on^G1936 of my^G3450 hands^G5495.

⁷ For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

KJVFor^G1063 God^G2316 hath^G1325 not^G3756 given^G1325^(G5656) us^G2254 the spirit^G4151 of fear^G1167; but^G235 of power^G1411, and^G2532 of love^G26, and^G2532 of a sound mind^G4995.

⁸ Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,

KJVBe^G1870 not^G3361 thou^G1870 therefore^G3767 ashamed^G1870^(G5680) of the testimony^G3142 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962, nor^G3366 of me^G1691 his^G846 prisoner^G1198: but^G235 be thou partaker of the afflictions^G4777^(G5657) of the gospel^G2098 according to^G2596 the power^G1411 of God^G2316;

⁹ who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

KJVWho^G3588 hath saved^G4982^(G5660) us^G2248, and^G2532 called^G2564^(G5660) us with an holy^G40 calling^G2821, not^G3756 according to^G2596 our^G2257 works^G2041, but^G235 according to^G2596 his own^G2398 purpose^G4286 and^G2532 grace^G5485, which^G3588 was given^G1325^(G5685) us^G2254 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424 before^G4253 the world began^G5550^G166,

¹⁰ but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.

KJVBut^G1161 is^G5319 now^G3568 made manifest^G5319^(G5685) by^G1223 the appearing^G2015 of our^G2257 Saviour^G4990 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, who^G3303 hath abolished^G2673^(G5660) death^G2288, and^G1161 hath brought^G5461 life^G2222 and^G2532 immortality^G861 to light^G5461^(G5660) through^G1223 the gospel^G2098:

¹¹ For this I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

KJVWhereunto^G1519^G3739 I^G1473 am appointed^G5087^(G5681) a preacher^G2783, and^G2532 an apostle^G652, and^G2532 a teacher^G1320 of the Gentiles^G1484.

¹² For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

KJVFor^G1223 the which^G3739 cause^G156 I^G3958 also^G2532 suffer^G3958^(G5719) these things^G5023: nevertheless^G235 I am^G1870 not^G3756 ashamed^G1870^(G5736): for^G1063 I know^G1492^(G5758) whom^G3739 I have believed^G4100^(G5758), and^G2532 am persuaded^G3982^(G5769) that^G3754 he is^G2076^(G5748) able^G1415 to keep^G5442^(G5658) that which I^G3450 have committed unto him^G3866 against^G1519 that^G1565 day^G2250.

¹³ Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

KJVHold fast^G2192^(G5720) the form^G5296 of sound^G5198^(G5723) words^G3056, which^G3739 thou hast heard^G191^(G5656) of^G3844 me^G1700, in^G1722 faith^G4102 and^G2532 love^G26 which^G3588 is in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424.

¹⁴ That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

KJVThat good thing^G2570 which was committed unto thee^G3872 keep^G5442^(G5657) by^G1223 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 which^G3588 dwelleth^G1774^(G5723) in^G1722 us^G2254.

¹⁵ This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

KJVThis^G5124 thou knowest^G1492^(G5758), that^G3754 all^G3956 they which are in^G1722 Asia^G773 be turned away from^G654^(G5648) me^G3165; of whom^G3739 are^G2076^(G5748) Phygellus^G5436 and^G2532 Hermogenes^G2061.

¹⁶ May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,

KJVThe Lord^G2962 give^G1325^(G5630) mercy^G1656 unto the house^G3624 of Onesiphorus^G3683; for^G3754 he^G404 oft^G4178 refreshed^G404^(G5656) me^G3165, and^G2532 was^G1870 not^G3756 ashamed^G1870^(G5681) of my^G3450 chain^G254:

¹⁷ but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently and found me

KJVBut^G235, when he was^G1096^(G5637) in^G1722 Rome^G4516, he sought^G2212 me^G3165 out^G2212^(G5656) very diligently^G4706, and^G2532 found^G2147^(G5627) me.

¹⁸ (the Lord grant to him to find the Lord’s mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.

KJVThe Lord^G2962 grant^G1325^(G5630) unto him^G846 that he may find^G2147^(G5629) mercy^G1656 of^G3844 the Lord^G2962 in^G1722 that^G1565 day^G2250: and^G2532 in how many things^G3745 he ministered unto me^G1247^(G5656) at^G1722 Ephesus^G2181, thou^G4771 knowest^G1097^(G5719) very well^G957.
