{\MTB THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL TO
\par }{\MT TIMOTHY

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul,
an apostle
of
Christ
Jesus
through
the
will
of
God,
according
to
the
promise
of
the
life
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus,
\VS{2}to
Timothy,
my
beloved
child:
Grace,
mercy,
peace,
from
God
the
Father
and
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord.
\par }{\BB \par }{\PP \VS{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
\VS{4}longing
to
see
thee,
remembering
thy
tears,
that
I
may
be
filled
with
joy;
\VS{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.
\VS{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.
\VS{7}For
God
gave
us
not
a
spirit
of
fearfulness;
but
of
power
and
love
and
discipline.
\VS{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;
\VS{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,
\VS{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,
\VS{11}whereunto
I
was
appointed
a
preacher,
and
an apostle,
and
a
teacher.
\VS{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.
\VS{13}Hold
the
pattern
of
sound
words
which
thou
hast
heard
from
me,
in
faith
and
love
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{14}That
good
thing
which
was
committed
unto
{\ADD{
thee}}
guard
through
the
Holy
Spirit
which
dwelleth
in
us.
\par }{\PP \VS{15}This
thou
knowest,
that
all
that
are
in
Asia
turned
away
from
me;
of
whom
are
Phygelus
and
Hermogenes.
\VS{16}The
Lord
grant
mercy
unto
the
house
of
Onesiphorus:
for
he
oft
refreshed
me,
and
was
not
ashamed
of
my
chain;
\VS{17}but,
when
he
was
in
Rome,
he
sought
me
diligently,
and
found
me
\VS{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.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Thou
therefore,
my
child,
be
strengthened
in
the
grace
that
is
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{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.
\VS{3}Suffer
hardship
with
{\ADD{
me}},
as
a
good
soldier
of
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{4}No
soldier
on
service
entangleth
himself
in
the
affairs
of
{\ADD{
this}}
life;
that
he
may
please
him
who
enrolled
him
as
a
soldier.
\VS{5}And
if
also
a
man
contend
in
the games,
he
is
not
crowned,
except
he
have
contended
lawfully.
\VS{6}The
husbandman
that laboreth
must
be
the
first
to partake
of
the
fruits.
\VS{7}Consider
what
I
say;
for
the
Lord
shall
give
thee
understanding
in
all
things.
\VS{8}Remember
Jesus
Christ,
risen
from
the
dead,
of
the
seed
of
David,
according
to
my
gospel:
\VS{9}wherein
I
suffer
hardship
unto
bonds,
as
a malefactor;
but
the
word
of
God
is
not
bound.
\VS{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.
\VS{11}Faithful
is
the
saying:
For
if
we
died
with
him,
we
shall
also
live
with
him:
\VS{12}if
we
endure,
we
shall
also
reign
with
him:
if
we
shall
deny
him,
he
also
will
deny
us:
\VS{13}if
we
are
faithless,
he
abideth
faithful;
for
he
cannot
deny
himself.
\par }{\PP \VS{14}Of
these
things
put
them
in
remembrance,
charging
{\ADD{
them}}
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
that
they
strive
not
about
words,
to
no
profit,
to
the
subverting
of
them
that
hear.
\VS{15}Give
diligence
to
present
thyself
approved
unto
God,
a
workman
that needeth
not
to
be
ashamed,
handling
aright
the
word
of
truth.
\VS{16}But
shun
profane
babblings:
for
they
will
proceed
further
in
ungodliness,
\VS{17}and
their
word
will
eat
as
doth
a
gangrene:
of
whom
is Hymenæus
and
Philetus;
\VS{18}men
who
concerning
the
truth
have
erred,
saying
that
the resurrection
is
past
already,
and
overthrow
the
faith
of
some.
\VS{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.
\VS{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.
\VS{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.
\VS{22}But
flee
youthful
lusts,
and
follow
after
righteousness,
faith,
love,
peace,
with
them
that
call
on
the
Lord
out
of
a
pure
heart.
\VS{23}But
foolish
and
ignorant questionings
refuse,
knowing
that
they
gender
strifes.
\VS{24}And
the
Lord’s
servant
must
not
strive,
but
be
gentle towards
all,
apt
to
teach,
forbearing,
\VS{25}in
meekness
correcting
them
that
oppose
themselves;
if
peradventure
God
may
give
them
repentance
unto
the
knowledge
of
the
truth,
\VS{26}and
they
may
recover
themselves
out
of
the
snare
of
the
devil,
having
been
taken
captive
by
him
unto
his
will.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But
know
this,
that
in
the
last
days
grievous
times
shall
come.
\VS{2}For
men
shall
be
lovers
of
self,
lovers
of
money,
boastful,
haughty, railers,
disobedient
to
parents, unthankful,
unholy,
\VS{3}without
natural
affection, implacable,
slanderers,
without self-control,
fierce,
no
lovers
of
good,
\VS{4}traitors, headstrong, puffed
up,
lovers
of
pleasure
rather
than
lovers
of
God;
\VS{5}holding
a
form
of
godliness,
but
having
denied
the
power
thereof:
from
these
also
turn
away.
\VS{6}For
of
these
are
they
that
creep
into
houses,
and
take
captive
silly
women
laden
with
sins,
led
away
by
divers
lusts,
\VS{7}ever
learning,
and
never
able
to
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth.
\VS{8}And
even
as
Jannes
and
Jambres
withstood
Moses,
so
do
these
also
withstand
the
truth;
men
corrupted
in
mind,
reprobate
concerning
the
faith.
\VS{9}But
they
shall
proceed
no
further:
for
their
folly
shall
be
evident
unto
all
men,
as
theirs
also
came
to
be.
\VS{10}But
thou
didst
follow
my
teaching,
conduct,
purpose,
faith,
longsuffering,
love,
patience,
\VS{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.
\VS{12}Yea,
and
all
that
would
live
godly
in
Christ
Jesus
shall
suffer
persecution.
\VS{13}But
evil
men
and
impostors
shall
wax
worse
and
worse,
deceiving
and
being
deceived.
\VS{14}But
abide
thou
in
the
things
which
thou
hast
learned
and
hast
been
assured
of,
knowing
of
whom
thou
hast
learned
them;
\VS{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.
\VS{16}Every
scripture
inspired
of
God
{\ADD{
is}}
also
profitable
for
teaching,
for
reproof,
for
correction,
for
instruction
which
is
in
righteousness:
\VS{17}that
the
man
of
God
may
be
complete,
furnished
completely
unto
every
good
work.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}I
charge
{\ADD{
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:
\VS{2}preach
the
word;
be
urgent
in
season,
out
of
season;
reprove,
rebuke,
exhort,
with
all
longsuffering
and
teaching.
\VS{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;
\VS{4}and
will
turn
away
their
ears
from
the
truth,
and
turn
aside
unto
fables.
\VS{5}But
be
thou
sober
in
all
things,
suffer
hardship,
do
the
work
of
an
evangelist,
fulfil
thy
ministry.
\VS{6}For
I
am
already
being
offered,
and
the
time
of
my
departure
is
come.
\VS{7}I
have
fought
the
good
fight,
I
have
finished
the
course,
I
have
kept
the
faith:
\VS{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.
\par }{\PP \VS{9}Give
diligence
to
come
shortly
unto
me:
\VS{10}for
Demas
forsook
me,
having
loved
this
present
world,
and
went
to
Thessalonica;
Crescens
to
Galatia,
Titus
to
Dalmatia.
\VS{11}Only
Luke
is
with
me.
Take
Mark,
and
bring
him
with
thee;
for
he
is
useful
to
me
for
ministering.
\VS{12}But
Tychicus
I
sent
to
Ephesus.
\VS{13}The
cloak
that
I
left
at
Troas
with
Carpus,
bring
when
thou
comest,
and
the
books,
especially
the
parchments.
\VS{14}Alexander
the
coppersmith
did
me
much
evil:
the
Lord
will
render
to
him
according
to
his
works:
\VS{15}of
whom
do
thou
also
beware;
for
he
greatly
withstood
our
words.
\VS{16}At
my
first
defence
no
one
took
my
part,
but
all
forsook
me:
may
it
not
be
laid
to
their
account.
\VS{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.
\VS{18}The
Lord
will
deliver
me
from
every
evil
work,
and
will
save
me
unto
his
heavenly
kingdom:
to
whom
{\ADD{
be}}
the
glory
for
ever
and
ever.
Amen.
\par }{\PP \VS{19}Salute
Prisca
and Aquila,
and
the
house
of
Onesiphorus.
\VS{20}Erastus
remained
at
Corinth:
but
Trophimus
I
left
at
Miletus
sick.
\VS{21}Give
diligence
to
come
before
winter.
