2 Timothy 2 - ESV Bible - You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace...

1 You then, ¹my child, ²be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus,

2 and ³what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses ⁴entrust to faithful men ⁵who will be able to teach others also.

3 ⁶Share in suffering as ⁷a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

4 No soldier ⁸gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.

5 ⁹An athlete is not ¹⁰crowned unless he competes according to the rules.

6 It is ¹¹the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.

7 Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.

8 Remember Jesus Christ, ¹²risen from the dead, the ¹³offspring of David, ¹⁴as preached in my gospel,

9 ¹⁵for which I am suffering, ¹⁶bound with chains as a criminal. But ¹⁷the word of God is not bound!

10 Therefore ¹⁸I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain ¹⁹the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with ²⁰eternal glory.

11 The saying is ²¹trustworthy, for: ²²If we have died with him, we will also ²³live with him;

12 ²⁴if we endure, we will also reign with him; ²⁵if we deny him, he also will deny us;

13 ²⁶if we are faithless, ²⁷he remains faithful--for ²⁸he cannot deny himself.

14 Remind them of these things, and ²⁹charge them before God^a³⁰not to quarrel about words, ³¹which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.

15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,^b a worker ³²who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

16 But ³³avoid ³⁴irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,

17 and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are ³⁵Hymenaeus and Philetus,

18 who have swerved from the truth, ³⁶saying that the resurrection has already happened. They are upsetting the faith of some.

19 But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: ³⁷"The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let everyone ³⁸who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity."

20 Now in ³⁹a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, ⁴⁰some for honorable use, some for dishonorable.

21 Therefore, ⁴¹if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable,^c he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ⁴²ready for every good work.

22 So ⁴³flee ⁴⁴youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with ⁴⁵those who call on the Lord ⁴⁶from a pure heart.

23 Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant ⁴⁷controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.

24 And ⁴⁸the Lord's servant^d must not be quarrelsome but ⁴⁹kind to everyone, ⁵⁰able to teach, patiently enduring evil,

25 correcting his opponents ⁵¹with gentleness. God ⁵²may perhaps grant them repentance ⁵³leading to a knowledge of the truth,

26 and they may come to their senses and escape from ⁵⁴the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
