SECOND
TIMOTHY
|
| 001:001
| Paul, an apostle of
Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life
which is in Christ Jesus,
|
| 001:002
| To Timothy, my
dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father
and Christ Jesus our Lord.
|
| 001:003
| I thank God, whom I
serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without
ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
|
| 001:004
| Greatly desiring to
see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with
joy;
|
| 001:005
| When I call to
remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first
in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded
that in thee also.
|
| 001:006
| Wherefore I put thee
in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee
by the putting on of my hands.
|
| 001:007
| For God hath not
given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a
sound mind.
|
| 001:008
| Be not thou
therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his
prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel
according to the power of God;
|
| 001:009
| Who hath saved us,
and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works,
but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in
Christ Jesus before the world began,
|
| 001:010
| But is now made
manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath
abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light
through the gospel:
|
| 001:011
| Whereunto I am
appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the
Gentiles.
|
| 001:012
| For the which cause
I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I
know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to
keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
|
| 001:013
| Hold fast the form
of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love
which is in Christ Jesus.
|
| 001:014
| That good thing
which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which
dwelleth in us.
|
| 001:015
| This thou knowest,
that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom
are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
|
| 001:016
| The Lord give mercy
unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was
not ashamed of my chain:
|
| 001:017
| But, when he was in
Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
|
| 001:018
| The Lord grant unto
him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how
many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very
well.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
2
|
| 002:001
| Thou therefore, my
son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
|
| 002:002
| And the things that
thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou
to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
|
| 002:003
| Thou therefore
endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
|
| 002:004
| No man that warreth
entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may
please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
|
| 002:005
| And if a man also
strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive
lawfully.
|
| 002:006
| The husbandman that
laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
|
| 002:007
| Consider what I say;
and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
|
| 002:008
| Remember that Jesus
Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to
my gospel:
|
| 002:009
| Wherein I suffer
trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is
not bound.
|
| 002:010
| Therefore I endure
all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the
salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
|
| 002:011
| It is a faithful
saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
|
| 002:012
| If we suffer, we
shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
|
| 002:013
| If we believe not,
yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
|
| 002:014
| Of these things put
them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they
strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the
hearers.
|
| 002:015
| Study to shew
thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
|
| 002:016
| But shun profane and
vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
|
| 002:017
| And their word will
eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
|
| 002:018
| Who concerning the
truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already;
and overthrow the faith of some.
|
| 002:019
| Nevertheless the
foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord
knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name
of Christ depart from iniquity.
|
| 002:020
| But in a great house
there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood
and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
|
| 002:021
| If a man therefore
purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour,
sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every
good work.
|
| 002:022
| Flee also youthful
lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them
that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
|
| 002:023
| But foolish and
unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
|
| 002:024
| And the servant of
the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to
teach, patient,
|
| 002:025
| In meekness
instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will
give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
|
| 002:026
| And that they may
recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken
captive by him at his will.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
3
|
| 003:001
| This know also, that
in the last days perilous times shall come.
|
| 003:002
| For men shall be
lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
|
| 003:003
| Without natural
affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce,
despisers of those that are good,
|
| 003:004
| Traitors, heady,
highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
|
| 003:005
| Having a form of
godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
|
| 003:006
| For of this sort are
they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden
with sins, led away with divers lusts,
|
| 003:007
| Ever learning, and
never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
|
| 003:008
| Now as Jannes and
Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of
corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
|
| 003:009
| But they shall
proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all
men, as their's also was.
|
| 003:010
| But thou hast fully
known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering,
charity, patience,
|
| 003:011
| Persecutions,
afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra;
what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord
delivered me.
|
| 003:012
| Yea, and all that
will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
|
| 003:013
| But evil men and
seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
|
| 003:014
| But continue thou in
the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of,
knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
|
| 003:015
| And that from a
child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make
thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
|
| 003:016
| All scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
|
| 003:017
| That the man of God
may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
|
|
|
| CHAPTER
4
|
| 004:001
| I charge thee
therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge
the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
|
| 004:002
| Preach the word; be
instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all
longsuffering and doctrine.
|
| 004:003
| For the time will
come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own
lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
|
| 004:004
| And they shall turn
away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
|
| 004:005
| But watch thou in
all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make
full proof of thy ministry.
|
| 004:006
| For I am now ready
to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
|
| 004:007
| I have fought a good
fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
|
| 004:008
| Henceforth there is
laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the
righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only,
but unto all them also that love his appearing.
|
| 004:009
| Do thy diligence to
come shortly unto me:
|
| 004:010
| For Demas hath
forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto
Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
|
| 004:011
| Only Luke is with
me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me
for the ministry.
|
| 004:012
| And Tychicus have I
sent to Ephesus.
|
| 004:013
| The cloke that I
left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and
the books, but especially the parchments.
|
| 004:014
| Alexander the
coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his
works:
|
| 004:015
| Of whom be thou ware
also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
|
| 004:016
| At my first answer
no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it
may not be laid to their charge.
|
| 004:017
| Notwithstanding the
Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching
might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I
was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
|
| 004:018
| And the Lord shall
deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his
heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
|
| 004:019
| Salute Prisca and
Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
|
| 004:020
| Erastus abode at
Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.
|
| 004:021
| Do thy diligence to
come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus,
and Claudia, and all the brethren.
|
| 004:022
| The Lord Jesus
Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
