CHAP. II.
1 He is exhorted again to constancy and perseverance,
and to the duty of a faithful servant
of the Lord, in dividing the word
aright, and shunning profane and vain babblings.
17 Of Hymeneus and Philetus. 19
The foundation of the Lord is sure. 22 He
is taught what to shun, and what to follow,
and in what sort the servant of the Lord
ought to behave himself.
1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in
the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard
from me note among many witnesses, the
same commit thou to faithful men, who
shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou therefore endure note hardness,
as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 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.
-- --
A. D. 66.
5 And if a man also striveth for masteries,
yet is he not crowned, except he
striveth lawfully.
6 noteThe husbandman that laboreth
must be first partaker of the fruits.
7 Consider what I say; and the Lord
give thee understanding in all things.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the
seed of David was raised from the dead
according to my gospel:
9 In which I suffer trouble, as an evildoer,
even to bonds; but the word of
God is not bound.
10 Therefore I endure all things for
the sake of the elect, that they may also
obtain the salvation which is in Christ
Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For note if we
are dead with him, we shall also live
with him:
12 noteIf we suffer, we shall also reign
with him: note if we deny him, he also will
deny us:
13 noteIf we believe not, yet he abideth
faithful: he cannot deny himself.
14 Of these things put them in remembrance,
charging them before the Lord
that they contend not about words to no
profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to show thyself approved to
God, a workman that needeth not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word of
truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings:
for they will increase to more
ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as doth a
note canker: of whom is Hymeneus and
Philetus;
18 Who concerning the truth have
erred, saying that the resurrection is
past already; and overthrow the faith of
some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation of
God standeth firm, having this seal, The
Lord knoweth them that are his. And,
Let every one that nameth the name of
Christ depart from iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not
only vessels of gold and of silver, but also
of wood and of earth; note and some to
honor, and some to dishonor.
21 If a man therefore will cleanse
himself from these, he will be a vessel to
honor, sanctified and meet for the master's
use, and prepared to every good
work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow
righteousness, faith, charity, peace,
with them that call on the Lord out of a
pure heart.
23 But note foolish and unlearned questions
avoid, knowing that they gender
contentions.
24 And the servant of the Lord must
not contend; but be gentle to all men,
apt to teach, note patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that
oppose themselves; if God perhaps will
give them repentance to the acknowledging
of the truth;
26 And that they may note recover themselves
out of the snare of the devil, who
are note taken captive by him at his will.
