Living your faith even at a cost

3:10 Living your faith even at a cost

10However Timothy, you followed me in your teaching, your conduct, your purpose and your faith, in patience, love, endurance, 11and even through persecution and suffering like I endured in Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra[ref]—yet the master rescued me in each case. 12Anyway, everyone who wants to seriously follow Yeshua the messiah should expect to be persecuted.

13Meanwhile evil people and scammers will get worse and worse—deceiving others and then being deceived themselves. 14Hold on to the things that you learnt and were convinced was true, because you know you can trust those who taught them to you. 15You’ve known the sacred scriptures since you were a young child, and the wisdom contained in them is able to lead you to salvation through faith in Yeshua the messiah. 16All scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for scolding and correction, and for teaching discipline and obedience 17so that the person following God can be trained in doing every kind of good deed.

42 1-2I am proclaiming these truths before God and before Yeshua the messiah who will judge both the living and the dead. Proclaim his appearance on earth[fn] and his kingdom, stand by the message whether it’s convenient or seems out of place, rebuke and scold those who need it, but also encourage with complete patience and teaching. 3A time will come when people will no longer be tolerating scriptural teaching, but will prefer their own doctrines so they’ll find teachers to teach what they want to hear, 4so not only will they avoid hearing the truth, they’ll be following myths instead. 5However Timothy, you stay sensible about everything, endure hardship, tell people the good message, and do all your duties well.

6As for me, I’ve already done all I can and the time of my departure is approaching. 7I’ve fought the fight for goodness. I’ve finished the race. I’ve kept the faith. 8I know that a crown has been reserved for me due to my obedience, and the master serving as the impartial judge will award it to me, and not just to me, but will also award them to others who appreciated his coming.[fn]


4:1 It’s not clear if Paul is referring to Yeshua’s previous coming to the earth, or to the expected, future coming. (See also 4:8)

4:8 Again (see 4:1), it’s not totally clear if Paul is referring to Yeshua’s previous coming to the earth, or to the expected, future coming.


3:11: a Acts 13:14-52; b Acts 14:1-7; c Acts 14:8-20.
