01:01 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,
according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
01:02 To Timothy, [my] dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, [and]
peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
01:03 I thank God, whom I serve from [my] forefathers with pure
conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in
my prayers night and day;
01:04 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears,
that I may be filled with joy;
01:05 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in
thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother
Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
01:06 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the
gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
01:07 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of
power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
01:08 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our
Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the
afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
01:09 Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling,
not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and
grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
01:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour
Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life
and immortality to light through the gospel:
01:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and
a teacher of the Gentiles.
01:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things:
nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed,
and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have
committed unto him against that day.
01:13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard
of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
01:14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the
Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
01:15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be
turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
01:16 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he
oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
01:17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very
diligently, and found [me].
01:18 The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the
Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me
at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
02:01 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in
Christ Jesus.
02:02 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.
02:03 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of
Jesus Christ.
02:04 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.
02:05 And if a man also strive for masteries, [yet] is he not
crowned, except he strive lawfully.
02:06 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of
the fruits.
02:07 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding
in all things.
02:08 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was
raised from the dead according to my gospel:
02:09 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, [even] unto
bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
02:10 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.
02:11 [It is] a faithful saying: For if we be dead with [him],
we shall also live with [him]:
02:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny
[him], he also will deny us:
02:13 If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he cannot
deny himself.
02:14 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.
02:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
02:16 But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will
increase unto more ungodliness.
02:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is
Hymenaeus and Philetus;
02:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the
resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
02:19 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.
02:20 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.
02:21 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.
02:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith,
charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure
heart.
02:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that
they do gender strifes.
02:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be
gentle unto all [men], apt to teach, patient,
02:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if
God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging
of the truth;
02:26 And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare
of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
03:01 This know also, that in the last days perilous times
shall come.
03:02 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,
boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful,
unholy,
03:03 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
03:04 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more
than lovers of God;
03:05 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:
from such turn away.
03:06 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and
lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers
lusts,
03:07 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of
the truth.
03:08 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these
also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate
concerning the faith.
03:09 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall
