1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the
     grace that is in Christ Jesus.
      2 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.
      3 Thou therefore endure 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.
      5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is
     he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
      6 The husbandman that laboureth 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 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer,
     even unto bonds; but the word of God is not
     bound.
     10 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.
     11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead
     with him, we shall also live with him:
     12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if
     we deny him, he also will deny us:
     13 If 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 strive
     not about words to no profit, but to the
     subverting of the hearers.
     15 Study to shew thyself approved unto 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 unto more ungodliness.
     17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of
     whom is Hymenaeus 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
     sure, 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; and some to honour, and some to
     dishonour.
     21 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.
     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 foolish and unlearned questions avoid,
     knowing that they do gender strifes.
     24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive;
     but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach,
     patient,
     25 In meekness instructing those that oppose
     themselves; if God peradventure will give them
     repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
     26 And that they may recover themselves out of
     the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by
     him at his will.
