CHAP. II.
1 He is exhorted againe to constancie and perseuerance,
and to doe the duetie of a faithfull
seruant of the Lord in diuiding the word aright,
and staying prophane and vaine bablings.
17 Of Hymeneus and Philetus. 19
The foundation of the Lord is sure. 22 Hee
is taught whereof to beware, and what to
follow after, and in what sort the seruant of
the Lord ought to behaue himselfe.
1
Thou therefore, my sonne,
be strong in the grace that
is in Christ Iesus.
2
And the things that
thou hast heard of mee note among
many witnesses, the same commit
thou to faithfull men, who shall be
able to teach others also.
3
Thou therefore indure hardnesse,
as a good souldier of Iesus Christ.
4
No man that warreth, intangleth
himselfe with the affaires of this
life, that hee may please him who hath
chosen him to be a souldier.
5
And if a man also striue for masteries,
yet is hee not crowned except hee
striue lawfully.
6
noteThe husbandman that laboureth,
must bee first partaker of the
fruites.
7
Consider what I say, and the
Lord giue thee vnderstanding in all
things.
8
Remember that Iesus Christ of
the seede of Dauid, was raised from the
dead, according to my Gospel:
9
Wherein I suffer trouble as an
euill doer, euen vnto bonds: but the
word of God is not bound.
10
Therefore I indure all things for
the elects sakes, that they may also obtaine
the saluation which is in Christ
Iesus, with eternall glory.
11
It is a faithfull saying: for if we bee
dead with him, wee shall also liue with
him.
Of sundry vessels.
12
If we suffer, we shall also reigne
with him: if wee denie him, hee also will
denie vs.
13
If we beleeue not, yet he abideth
faithfull, he cannot denie himselfe.
14
Of these things put them in remembrance,
charging them before the
Lord, that they striue not about words
to no profite, but to the subuerting of the
hearers.
15
Studie to shewe thy selfe approued
vnto God, a workman that needeth
not to be ashamed, rightly diuiding
the word of trueth.
16
But shun profane and vaine bablings,
for they will increase vnto more
vngodlinesse.
17
And their word will eate as doth
a note canker: of whom is Hymeneus and
Philetus.
18
Who concerning the trueth haue
erred, saying that the resurrection is
past alreadie, and ouerthrow the faith
of some.
19
Neuerthelesse the foundation of
God standeth note sure, hauing the seale, the
Lord knoweth them that are his. And,
let euery one that nameth the Name of
Christ, depart from iniquitie.
20
But in a great house, there are
not onely vessels of gold, and of siluer,
but also a wood, ∧ of earth: and some
to honour, and some to dishonour.
21
If a man therefore purge himselfe
from these, he shal be a vessell vnto
honour, sanctified, and meete for the
Masters vse, and prepared vnto euery
good worke.
22
Flie also youthfull lusts: but follow
righteousnesse, faith, charitie, peace
with them that call on the Lord out of
a pure heart.
23
But foolish and vnlearned questions
auoid, knowing that they doe gender
strifes.
24
And the seruant of the Lord must
not striue: but bee gentle vnto all men,
apt to teach, note patient,
25
In meekenesse instructing those
that oppose themselues, if God peraduenture
will giue them repentance to
the acknowledging of the trueth.
26
And that they may note recouer themselues
out of the snare of the deuill, who
are note taken captiue by him at his will.
