2TI-1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,
according to the
promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2TI-1:2 To Timothy, [my] dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy,
[and] peace, from
God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
2TI-1:3 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;
2TI-1:4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy
tears, that I may
be filled with joy;
2TI-1:5 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.
2TI-1:6 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.
2TI-1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of
power, and of
love, and of a sound mind.
2TI-1:8 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;
2TI-1:9 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,
2TI-1:10 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:
2TI-1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle,
and a teacher of
the Gentiles.
2TI-1:12 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.
2TI-1:13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast
heard of me, in
faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
2TI-1:14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by
the Holy Ghost
which dwelleth in us.
2TI-1:15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be
turned away
from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
2TI-1:16 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for
he oft
refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
2TI-1:17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very
diligently, and found
[me].
2TI-1:18 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.
==== <2TI2>
2TI-2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is
in Christ
Jesus.
2TI-2:2 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.
2TI-2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of
Jesus Christ.
2TI-2:4 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.
2TI-2:5 And if a man also strive for masteries, [yet] is he not
crowned,
except he strive lawfully.
2TI-2:6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of
the fruits.
2TI-2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee
understanding in all
things.
2TI-2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was
raised from the
dead according to my gospel:
2TI-2:9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, [even] unto
bonds; but the
word of God is not bound.
2TI-2:10 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.
2TI-2:11 [It is] a faithful saying: For if we be dead with
[him], we shall
also live with [him]:
2TI-2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we
deny [him], he
also will deny us:
2TI-2:13 If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he
cannot deny himself.
2TI-2:14 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.
2TI-2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman
that needeth not
to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2TI-2:16 But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will
increase unto
more ungodliness.
2TI-2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is
Hymenaeus and
Philetus;
2TI-2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the
resurrection is
past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
2TI-2:19 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.
2TI-2:20 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.
2TI-2:21 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.
2TI-2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness,
faith, charity,
peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2TI-2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing
that they do
gender strifes.
2TI-2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be
gentle unto all
[men], apt to teach, patient,
2TI-2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;
if God
peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of
the truth;
2TI-2:26 And [that] they may recover themselves out of the
snare of the devil,
who are taken captive by him at his will.
==== <2TI3>
2TI-3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times
shall come.
2TI-3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,
boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2TI-3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false
accusers, incontinent,
fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2TI-3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more
than lovers of
God;
2TI-3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power
thereof: from such
turn away.
2TI-3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and
lead captive
silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2TI-3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge
of the truth.
2TI-3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these
also resist the
truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
2TI-3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly
shall be manifest
unto all [men], as theirs also was.
2TI-3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life,
purpose,
faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
2TI-3:11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at
Antioch, at Iconium,
at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of [them] all
the Lord
delivered me.
2TI-3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus
shall suffer
persecution.
2TI-3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse,
deceiving, and
being deceived.
2TI-3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast
learned and hast been
assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned [them];
2TI-3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy
scriptures, which are
able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in
Christ Jesus.
2TI-3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and
[is] profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness:
2TI-3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly
furnished unto all
good works.
==== <2TI4>
2TI-4:1 I charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord
Jesus Christ, who
shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his
kingdom;
2TI-4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;
reprove, rebuke,
exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2TI-4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine; but
after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,
having itching
ears;
2TI-4:4 And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth,
and shall be
turned unto fables.
2TI-4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do
the work of an
evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
2TI-4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my
departure is at
hand.
2TI-4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course,
I have kept
the faith:
2TI-4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness, which the
Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to
me only, but
unto all them also that love his appearing.
2TI-4:9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
2TI-4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present
world, and is
departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto
Dalmatia.
2TI-4:11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with
thee: for he is
profitable to me for the ministry.
2TI-4:12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
2TI-4:13 The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou
comest, bring
[with thee], and the books, [but] especially the parchments.
2TI-4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord
reward him
according to his works:
2TI-4:15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly
withstood our words.
2TI-4:16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all [men]
forsook me: [I
pray God] that it may not be laid to their charge.
2TI-4:17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and
strengthened me; that by
me the preaching might be fully known, and [that] all the
Gentiles might hear:
and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
2TI-4:18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work,
and will preserve
[me] unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] glory for ever and
ever. Amen.
2TI-4:19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of
Onesiphorus.
2TI-4:20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at
Miletum sick.
2TI-4:21 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus
greeteth thee, and
Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
2TI-4:22 The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with thy spirit. Grace [be]
with you.
Amen.
