THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL TO
TIMOTHY
12 Timothy1 1:1
Paul,
an apostle
of
Christ
Jesus
through
the
will
of
God,
according
to
the
promise
of
the
life
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus,
2 1:2
to
Timothy,
my
beloved
child:
Grace,
mercy,
peace,
from
God
the
Father
and
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord.
3 1:3
I
thank
God,
whom
I
serve
from
my
forefathers
in
a
pure
conscience,
how
unceasing
is
my
remembrance
of
thee
in
my
supplications,
night
and
day
4 1:4
longing
to
see
thee,
remembering
thy
tears,
that
I
may
be
filled
with
joy;
5 1:5
having
been reminded
of
the unfeigned
faith
that
is
in
thee;
which
dwelt
first
in
thy
grandmother
Lois,
and
thy
mother
Eunice;
and,
I
am
persuaded,
in
thee
also.
6 1:6
For
which
cause
I
put
thee
in
remembrance
that
thou
stir
up
the
gift
of
God,
which
is
in
thee
through
the
laying
on
of
my
hands.
7 1:7
For
God
gave
us
not
a
spirit
of
fearfulness;
but
of
power
and
love
and
discipline.
8 1:8
Be
not
ashamed
therefore
of
the
testimony
of
our
Lord,
nor
of
me
his
prisoner:
but
suffer
hardship
with
the
gospel
according
to
the
power
of
God;
9 1:9
who
saved
us,
and
called
us
with
a
holy
calling,
not
according
to
our
works,
but
according
to
his
own
purpose
and
grace,
which
was
given
us
in
Christ
Jesus
before
times
eternal,
10 1:10
but
hath
now
been
manifested
by
the
appearing
of
our
Saviour
Christ
Jesus,
who
abolished
death,
and
brought
life
and immortality
to
light
through
the
gospel,
11 1:11
whereunto
I
was
appointed
a
preacher,
and
an apostle,
and
a
teacher.
12 1:12
For
which
cause
I
suffer
also
these
things:
yet
I
am
not
ashamed;
for
I
know
him
whom
I
have
believed,
and
I
am
persuaded
that
he
is
able
to
guard
that
which
I
have
committed
unto
him
against
that
day.
13 1:13
Hold
the
pattern
of
sound
words
which
thou
hast
heard
from
me,
in
faith
and
love
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus.
14 1:14
That
good
thing
which
was
committed
unto
thee
guard
through
the
Holy
Spirit
which
dwelleth
in
us.
15 1:15
This
thou
knowest,
that
all
that
are
in
Asia
turned
away
from
me;
of
whom
are
Phygelus
and
Hermogenes.
16 1:16
The
Lord
grant
mercy
unto
the
house
of
Onesiphorus:
for
he
oft
refreshed
me,
and
was
not
ashamed
of
my
chain;
17 1:17
but,
when
he
was
in
Rome,
he
sought
me
diligently,
and
found
me
18 1:18(the
Lord
grant
unto
him
to
find
mercy
of
the
Lord
in
that
day);
and
in
how
many
things
he
ministered
at
Ephesus,
thou
knowest
very
well.
21 2:1
Thou
therefore,
my
child,
be
strengthened
in
the
grace
that
is
in
Christ
Jesus.
2 2:2
And
the
things
which
thou
hast
heard
from
me
among
many
witnesses,
the
same
commit
thou
to
faithful
men,
who
shall
be
able
to
teach
others
also.
3 2:3
Suffer
hardship
with
me,
as
a
good
soldier
of
Christ
Jesus.
4 2:4
No
soldier
on
service
entangleth
himself
in
the
affairs
of
this
life;
that
he
may
please
him
who
enrolled
him
as
a
soldier.
5 2:5
And
if
also
a
man
contend
in
the games,
he
is
not
crowned,
except
he
have
contended
lawfully.
6 2:6
The
husbandman
that laboreth
must
be
the
first
to partake
of
the
fruits.
7 2:7
Consider
what
I
say;
for
the
Lord
shall
give
thee
understanding
in
all
things.
8 2:8
Remember
Jesus
Christ,
risen
from
the
dead,
of
the
seed
of
David,
according
to
my
gospel:
9 2:9
wherein
I
suffer
hardship
unto
bonds,
as
a malefactor;
but
the
word
of
God
is
not
bound.
10 2:10
Therefore
I
endure
all
things
for
the
elect’s
sake,
that
they
also
may
obtain
the
salvation
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus
with
eternal
glory.
11 2:11
Faithful
is
the
saying:
For
if
we
died
with
him,
we
shall
also
live
with
him:
12 2:12
if
we
endure,
we
shall
also
reign
with
him:
if
we
shall
deny
him,
he
also
will
deny
us:
13 2:13
if
we
are
faithless,
he
abideth
faithful;
for
he
cannot
deny
himself.
14 2:14
Of
these
things
put
them
in
remembrance,
charging
them
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
that
they
strive
not
about
words,
to
no
profit,
to
the
subverting
of
them
that
hear.
15 2:15
Give
diligence
to
present
thyself
approved
unto
God,
a
workman
that needeth
not
to
be
ashamed,
handling
aright
the
word
of
truth.
16 2:16
But
shun
profane
babblings:
for
they
will
proceed
further
in
ungodliness,
17 2:17
and
their
word
will
eat
as
doth
a
gangrene:
of
whom
is Hymenæus
and
Philetus;
18 2:18
men
who
concerning
the
truth
have
erred,
saying
that
the resurrection
is
past
already,
and
overthrow
the
faith
of
some.
19 2:19
Howbeit
the
firm
foundation
of
God
standeth,
having
this
seal,
The
Lord
knoweth
them
that
are
his:
and,
Let
every
one
that
nameth
the
name
of
the
Lord
depart
from
unrighteousness.
20 2:20
Now
in
a
great
house
there
are
not
only
vessels
of
gold
and
of
silver,
but
also
of
wood
and
of
earth;
and
some
unto
honor,
and
some
unto
dishonor.
21 2:21
If
a
man
therefore
purge
himself
from
these,
he
shall
be
a
vessel
unto
honor,
sanctified,
meet
for
the
master’s
use,
prepared
unto
every
good
work.
22 2:22
But
flee
youthful
lusts,
and
follow
after
righteousness,
faith,
love,
peace,
with
them
that
call
on
the
Lord
out
of
a
pure
heart.
23 2:23
But
foolish
and
ignorant questionings
refuse,
knowing
that
they
gender
strifes.
24 2:24
And
the
Lord’s
servant
must
not
strive,
but
be
gentle towards
all,
apt
to
teach,
forbearing,
25 2:25
in
meekness
correcting
them
that
oppose
themselves;
if
peradventure
God
may
give
them
repentance
unto
the
knowledge
of
the
truth,
26 2:26
and
they
may
recover
themselves
out
of
the
snare
of
the
devil,
having
been
taken
captive
by
him
unto
his
will.
31 3:1
But
know
this,
that
in
the
last
days
grievous
times
shall
come.
2 3:2
For
men
shall
be
lovers
of
self,
lovers
of
money,
boastful,
haughty, railers,
disobedient
to
parents, unthankful,
unholy,
3 3:3
without
natural
affection, implacable,
slanderers,
without self-control,
fierce,
no
lovers
of
good,
4 3:4
traitors, headstrong, puffed
up,
lovers
of
pleasure
rather
than
lovers
of
God;
5 3:5
holding
a
form
of
godliness,
but
having
denied
the
power
thereof:
from
these
also
turn
away.
6 3:6
For
of
these
are
they
that
creep
into
houses,
and
take
captive
silly
women
laden
with
sins,
led
away
by
divers
lusts,
7 3:7
ever
learning,
and
never
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth.
8 3:8
And
even
as
Jannes
and
Jambres
withstood
Moses,
so
do
these
also
withstand
the
truth;
men
corrupted
in
mind,
reprobate
concerning
the
faith.
9 3:9
But
they
shall
proceed
no
further:
for
their
folly
shall
be
evident
unto
all
men,
as
theirs
also
came
to
be.
10 3:10
But
thou
didst
follow
my
teaching,
conduct,
purpose,
faith,
longsuffering,
love,
patience,
11 3:11
persecutions,
sufferings;
what
things
befell
me
at Antioch,
at
Iconium,
at
Lystra;
what
persecutions
I
endured:
and
out
of
them
all
the
Lord
delivered
me.
12 3:12
Yea,
and
all
that
would
live
godly
in
Christ
Jesus
shall
suffer
persecution.
13 3:13
But
evil
men
and
impostors
shall
wax
worse
and
worse,
deceiving
and
being
deceived.
14 3:14
But
abide
thou
in
the
things
which
thou
hast
learned
and
hast
been
assured
of,
knowing
of
whom
thou
hast
learned
them;
15 3:15
and
that
from
a
babe
thou
hast
known
the
sacred
writings
which
are
able
to
make
thee
wise
unto
salvation
through
faith
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus.
16 3:16
Every
scripture
inspired
of
God
is
also
profitable
for
teaching,
for
reproof,
for
correction,
for
instruction
which
is
in
righteousness:
17 3:17
that
the
man
of
God
may
be
complete,
furnished
completely
unto
every
good
work.
41 4:1
I
charge
thee
in
the
sight
of
God,
and
of
Christ
Jesus,
who
shall
judge
the
living
and
the
dead,
and
by
his
appearing
and
his
kingdom:
2 4:2
preach
the
word;
be
urgent
in
season,
out
of
season;
reprove,
rebuke,
exhort,
with
all
longsuffering
and
teaching.
3 4:3
For
the
time
will
come
when
they
will
not
endure
the
sound
doctrine;
but,
having
itching
ears,
will
heap
to
themselves
teachers
after
their
own
lusts;
4 4:4
and
will
turn
away
their
ears
from
the
truth,
and
turn
aside
unto
fables.
5 4:5
But
be
thou
sober
in
all
things,
suffer
hardship,
do
the
work
of
an
evangelist,
fulfil
thy
ministry.
6 4:6
For
I
am
already
being
offered,
and
the
time
of
my
departure
is
come.
7 4:7
I
have
fought
the
good
fight,
I
have
finished
the
course,
I
have
kept
the
faith:
8 4:8
henceforth
there
is
laid
up
for
me
the
crown
of
righteousness,
which
the
Lord,
the
righteous
judge,
shall
give
to
me
at
that
day;
and
not
to
me
only,
but
also
to
all
them
that
have
loved
his
appearing.
9 4:9
Give
diligence
to
come
shortly
unto
me:
10 4:10
for
Demas
forsook
me,
having
loved
this
present
world,
and
went
to
Thessalonica;
Crescens
to
Galatia,
Titus
to
Dalmatia.
11 4:11
Only
Luke
is
with
me.
Take
Mark,
and
bring
him
with
thee;
for
he
is
useful
to
me
for
ministering.
12 4:12
But
Tychicus
I
sent
to
Ephesus.
13 4:13
The
cloak
that
I
left
at
Troas
with
Carpus,
bring
when
thou
comest,
and
the
books,
especially
the
parchments.
14 4:14Alexander
the
coppersmith
did
me
much
evil:
the
Lord
will
render
to
him
according
to
his
works:
15 4:15
of
whom
do
thou
also
beware;
for
he
greatly
withstood
our
words.
16 4:16
At
my
first
defence
no
one
took
my
part,
but
all
forsook
me:
may
it
not
be
laid
to
their
account.
17 4:17
But
the
Lord
stood
by
me,
and
strengthened
me;
that
through
me
the
message
might
be
fully
proclaimed,
and
that
all
the
Gentiles
might
hear:
and
I
was
delivered
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
lion.
18 4:18
The
Lord
will
deliver
me
from
every
evil
work,
and
will
save
me
unto
his
heavenly
kingdom:
to
whom
be
the
glory
for
ever
and
ever.
Amen.
19 4:19
Salute
Prisca
and Aquila,
and
the
house
of
Onesiphorus.
20 4:20
Erastus
remained
at
Corinth:
but
Trophimus
I
left
at
Miletus
sick.
21 4:21
Give
diligence
to
come
before
winter.
Eubulus saluteth
thee,
and
Pudens,
and
Linus,
and
Claudia,
and
all
the
brethren.
22 4:22
The
Lord
be
with
thy
spirit.
Grace
be
with
you.
