¶ The .ij. Chapter. &cross2;
¶ Lyke as in the fyrst Chapter, so here be exhorteth
him to be constant in trouble, to suffre manly,
and to abyde fast in the wholsome doctryne
of oure Lorde Iesus Chryst.
A Thou therfore my sonne, be stronge
in the grace (that is thorow Christ
Iesu) and in the thynges that thou
hast hearde of me by many wytnesses.
The same commytte thou note to faythfull
men, which shalbe apte to teach other also.
Thou therfore suffre afflyccyons as a good
soudier of Iesu Chryst. No man that warreth,
ent&abar;glyth hym selfe wyth worldly busynes,
and that because he maye please hym,
whych hath chosen hym to be a soudier. And
though a man stryue for a mastery, yet is he
not crowned, except he stryue laufully note The
husbandman that laboureth, must fyrst receaue
of the frutes. Consyder what I saye.
The Lorde geue the vnderstandynge in all
thynges. &cross3;
B Rem&ebar;ber that Iesus Christ note of the sede
of Dauid, rose agayne from deeth according
to my Gospell, wherin I suffre trouble as
an euyll doar, euen vnto bondes. But þe; worde
of God was not bounde. Therfore note I suffre
all thynges, for the electes sakes, that
they myght also obtayne þe; saluacion, which
is in Christ Iesu, with eternall glory.
It is a true sayinge note for yf we be deed &wt;
hym, we shall also lyue wyth hym. noteIf we
be pacient, we shall also raygne wyth hym.
noteIf we denye hym, he also shall denye vs.
If we beleue not, note yet abydeth he faythfull.
He cannot denye hym selfe.
C Of these thinges
put them in remembraunce, and testifye before
the Lorde, that they folowe no contencyous
wordes: which are to no profet, but to
the peruertynge of the hearers.
Study to shewe thy selfe laudable vnto
God, a workm&abar; þt; nedeth not to be a shamed
distributynge the worde of trueth iustly.
noteAs for vngoostly vanyties of voyces, passe
thou ouer them. For they wyll encreace vnto
greater vngodlynes, ∧ theyr wordes shall
fret euen as doeth the disease of a cancre: of
whose n&obar;bre is. noteHymeneus and Philetus,
whych (as concernynge the trueth) haue erred,
sayinge, that the resurreccyon is past all
redy, and do destroye the fayth of some.
But þe; sure grounde of God standeth still,
and hath this seale: note þe; Lorde knoweth them
-- --
that are hys.
D And let euery man that calleth
on the name of Christ, departe from iniquite.
Not wythstandynge note in a greate house
are not onely vesseles of golde and of syluer:
but also of wood and of erthe: some for honoure,
and some vnto dyshonoure. Yf a man
therfore pourge him selfe from such men, he
shalbe a vessel sanctifyed vnto honoure,
mete for the vses of the Lorde, and prepared
vnto all good workes.
Lustes of youth auoyde, but folowe ryghtwesnes,
fayth, loue and peace, with th&ebar; that
call on the Lorde with a pure herte. noteFolysshe
and vnlearned questi&obar;s put from the,
knowinge, þt; they do but gendre stryfe. The
seruaunt of the Lorde must not stryue: but be
gentle vnto all men note apte to teach, and one
that can suffre the euyll with meaknes, and
can note informe them that resyst (the trueth) yf
that God at eny tyme wyll geue them rep&ebar;taunce,
for to knowe þe; trueth: and that they
maye come to them selues agayne out of the
snare of the deuyll, which are holden captiue
of hym at hys wyll.
