2:1 Yeshua’s followers obey and endure

2 So my ‘son’, may the grace from Yeshua the messiah make you strong 2 along with everything you heard from me through many witnesses. Entrust those things to faithful people who will also be capable of teaching others.

3 Suffer together with me as a good soldier of Yeshua the messiah. 4 Soldiers stay unentangled from the affairs of daily living so that they will be dedicated to pleasing their commanding officer. 5 Similarly the athlete won’t win the competition if they don’t follow the rules. 6 It’s fair for the farmer working in the orchard to be allowed to eat the fruit. 7 You should easily understand what I’m saying because the master will be giving you insight into everything.

8 Always remember the promised descendant of King David, Yeshua the messiah who came back from the dead, which is what I preach 9 and why I’m here in chains suffering hardship as a criminal. But God’s message hasn’t been chained. 10 So I will endure everything so that the ones that God has chosen will also be able to receive their salvation in Yeshua the messiah and live with him forever. 11 There’s a reliable saying that goes,

If we died along with him,

we will live together with him.

12 [ref]If we endure with him,

we will be able to reign with him.

If we disown him,

he will also disown us.

13 If we refuse to believe him,

he will remain faithful to us,

because he isn’t able to go against his nature.

14 Keep reminding them of all that. Tell them before God not to quibble[fn] about the intricacies of words as it’s not helpful and can lead the listeners to ruin.

2:14 There’s a textual issue here and we follow the standard SR (with ‘expert override’) rather than the developmental version.

2:12: Mat 10:33; Luk 12:9.

2 You therefore, child of _me, be _being _strengthened in the grace which in chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa).
2 And the things you _heard from me through many witnesses, entrust these to _faithful people who will _be worthy to _teach others also.
3 Suffer _together as a_good soldier of_chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous.
4 No _one soldiering is _being _entangled with _the affairs of_ the _living, in _order _that he _may _bring _pleasure to _the one having _enlisted him.
5 And also if anyone may _be _competing, not is _being _crowned, if he _may_ not _compete lawfully.
6 It _is _fitting the labouring farmer to _be _partaking first of _the fruits.
7 Be _understanding what I _am _saying, because/for the master will _be _giving insight to _you in all things.
8 Be _remembering Yaʸsous chosen _one /messiah, having _been _raised from the_dead, of the_seed of _Dawid/(Dāvid), according _to the good _message of _me, 9 in which I _am _suffering _hardship unto bonds as a_criminal.
But the message of_ the _god has_ not _been _bound.
10 Because _of this, I _am _enduring all things because _of the chosen ones, in _order _that they also may _obtain of _salvation which in chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) with eternal glory.
11 The saying is trustworthy:
For/Because if we _died _together with _him, we will_ also _be _living _together with _him, 12 if we _are _enduring, we will_ also _be _reigning _with him, if we _will _be _disowning him, also _that one will _be _disowning us, 13 if we _are _disbelieving, that one is _remaining faithful, because/for he _is_ not _able to _disown himself.
14 Be _reminding them these things, testifying before the god, to_ not _be _quibbling _about _messages against nothing useful, to the_ruin of _the ones hearing.
