{\MT The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul,
apostle
of
Jesus
Christ
by
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:1 }
Elohim}God's
will,
according
to
promise
of
life,
the [life]
which [is]
in
Christ
Jesus,
\VS{2}to Timotheus, [my]
beloved
child:
grace,
mercy,
peace,
from
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:2 }
Elohim}God [the]
Father,
and
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord.
\VS{3}I
am
thankful
to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:3 }
Elohim}God,
whom
I
serve
from [my]
forefathers
with
pure
conscience,
how unceasingly
I
have
the
remembrance
of thee
in
my supplications
night
and
day,
\VS{4}earnestly desiring
to
see thee, remembering thy
tears,
that
I
may be
filled
with
joy;
\VS{5}calling
to
mind
the unfeigned
faith
which [has
been]
in thee,
which
dwelt
first
in thy
grandmother
Lois,
and
in thy
mother
Eunice,
and
I
am
persuaded
that
in thee
also.
\VS{6}For
which
cause
I put thee
in mind
to rekindle
the
gift
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:6 }
Elohim}God
which
is
in thee
by
the putting
on
of
my
hands.
\VS{7}For
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:7 }
Elohim}God
has
not
given
us
a
spirit
of cowardice,
but
of
power,
and
of
love,
and
of wise discretion.
\VS{8}Be
not
therefore
ashamed
of
the
testimony
of
our
Lord,
nor
of
me
his
prisoner;
but
suffer evil
along
with
the glad tidings,
according
to
the
power
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:8 }
Elohim}God;
\VS{9}who
has
saved
us,
and
has
called
us
with
a
holy
calling,
not
according
to
our
works,
but
according
to [his]
own
purpose
and
grace,
which [was]
given
to
us
in
Christ
Jesus
before [the]
ages
of
time,
\VS{10}but
has
been
made
manifest
now
by
the
appearing
of
our Saviour
Jesus
Christ,
who
has annulled
death,
and
brought
to
light
life
and incorruptibility
by
the glad tidings;
\VS{11}to
which
{\BD{
I}}
have
been
appointed
a herald
and
apostle
and
teacher
of [the] nations.
\VS{12}For
which
cause
also
I
suffer
these
things;
but
I
am
not
ashamed;
for
I
know
whom
I
have
believed,
and
am
persuaded
that
he
is
able
to
keep
for
that
day
the deposit
I
have
entrusted
to
him.
\VS{13}Have
an outline
of
sound
words,
which [words] thou hast
heard
of
me,
in
faith
and
love
which [are]
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{14}Keep,
by
the
Holy
Spirit
which
dwells
in
us,
the
good deposit
entrusted.
\VS{15}Thou knowest
this,
that
all
who [are]
in
Asia,
of
whom
is Phygellus
and
Hermogenes,
have
turned
away
from
me.
\VS{16}The
Lord
grant
mercy
to
the
house
of
Onesiphorus,
for
he
has
often
refreshed
me,
and
has
not
been
ashamed
of
my
chain;
\VS{17}but
being
in
Rome
sought
me
out
very
diligently,
and
found [me] —
\VS{18}the
Lord
grant
to
him
to
find
mercy
from [the]
Lord
in
that
day —
and
how
much service
he
rendered
in
Ephesus
{\BD{thou}} knowest best.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Thou
therefore,
my
child,
be
strong
in
the
grace
which [is]
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{2}And
the
things thou hast
heard
of
me
in
the
presence
of
many
witnesses,
these
entrust
to
faithful
men,
such
as
shall
be
competent
to instruct
others
also.
\VS{3}Take thy share
in
suffering
as
a
good
soldier
of
Jesus
Christ.
\VS{4}No
one going
as a
soldier
entangles himself
with
the
affairs
of
life,
that he
may
please
him
who
has
enlisted
him
as a
soldier.
\VS{5}And
if
also
any
one contend [in
the games],
he
is
not
crowned
unless
he contend
lawfully.
\VS{6}The husbandman
must labour
before partaking
of
the
fruits.
\VS{7}Think
of
what
I
say,
for
the
Lord
will
give thee
understanding
in
all
things.
\VS{8}Remember
Jesus
Christ
raised
from
among [the]
dead,
of [the]
seed
of
David,
according
to
my glad tidings,
\VS{9}in
which
I
suffer
even unto
bonds
as
an evil-doer:
but
the
word
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:9 }
Elohim}God
is
not
bound.
\VS{10}For
this cause
I
endure
all
things
for
the
sake
of
the
elect,
that
{\BD{
they}}
also
may
obtain
the
salvation
which [is]
in
Christ
Jesus
with
eternal
glory.
\VS{11}The
word [is]
faithful;
for
if
we
have
died
together
with [him],
we
shall
also
live
together;
\VS{12}if
we
endure,
we
shall
also
reign
together;
if
we
deny,
{\BD{
he}}
also
will
deny us;
\VS{13}if
we
are unfaithful,
{\BD{
he}}
abides
faithful,
for
he
cannot
deny
himself.
\VS{14}Of
these
things put
in
remembrance,
testifying earnestly
before
the
Lord
not
to
have disputes
of
words, profitable
for
nothing,
to
the subversion
of
the
hearers.
\VS{15}Strive diligently
to
present thyself
approved
to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:15 }
Elohim}God,
a
workman
that
has not
to
be
ashamed, cutting
in
a straight line
the
word
of
truth.
\VS{16}But
profane, vain babblings shun,
for
they
will advance
to
greater impiety,
\VS{17}and
their
word
will
spread
as
a
gangrene;
of
whom
is
Hymenaeus
and
Philetus;
\VS{18}[men]
who
as
to
the
truth
have
gone
astray,
saying
that
the
resurrection
has
taken
place
already;
and overthrow
the
faith
of
some.
\VS{19}Yet
the
firm
foundation
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:19 }
Elohim}God
stands,
having
this
seal, [The]
Lord
knows
those
that
are
his;
and,
Let
every
one
who
names
the
name
of [the]
Lord withdraw
from
iniquity.
\VS{20}But
in
a
great
house
there
are
not
only
gold
and
silver
vessels,
but
also wooden
and
earthen;
and
some
to honour,
and
some
to dishonour.
\VS{21}If
therefore
one
shall
have purified
himself
from
these, [in separating
himself
from
them],
he
shall
be
a
vessel
to honour,
sanctified, serviceable
to
the
Master,
prepared
for
every
good
work.
\VS{22}But
youthful
lusts
flee,
and
pursue
righteousness,
faith,
love,
peace,
with
those
that
call upon
the
Lord
out
of
a
pure
heart.
\VS{23}But
foolish
and senseless questionings avoid,
knowing
that
they beget contentions.
\VS{24}And
a bondman
of [the]
Lord
ought
not
to contend,
but
be
gentle towards
all; apt
to
teach; forbearing;
\VS{25}in
meekness setting
right
those
who oppose,
if
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:25 }
Elohim}God
perhaps
may sometime
give
them
repentance
to acknowledgment
of [the]
truth,
\VS{26}and
that
they
may awake
up
out
of
the
snare
of
the
devil, [who
are] taken
by
him,
for
{\BD{
his}}
will.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But
this
know,
that
in [the]
last
days
difficult
times
shall
be
there;
\VS{2}for
men
shall
be
lovers
of
self,
lovers
of
money,
boastful,
arrogant, evil speakers,
disobedient
to
parents,
ungrateful, profane,
\VS{3}without natural affection, implacable,
slanderers,
of unsubdued passions,
savage,
having no love for what
is
good,
\VS{4}traitors, headlong,
of vain pretensions,
lovers
of
pleasure
rather
than
lovers
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:4 }
Elohim}God;
\VS{5}having
a
form
of
piety
but
denying
the
power
of
it:
and
from
these turn away.
\VS{6}For
of
these
are
they
who
are getting
into
houses,
and
leading
captive silly
women, laden
with
sins,
led
by
various
lusts,
\VS{7}always
learning,
and
never
able
to
come
to [the]
knowledge
of [the]
truth.
\VS{8}Now
in
the
same
manner
in
which
Jannes
and
Jambres withstood
Moses,
thus
these
also withstand
the
truth;
men corrupted
in
mind, found worthless
as regards
the
faith.
\VS{9}But
they
shall
not advance farther;
for
their
folly
shall
be completely manifest
to
all,
as
that
of
those
also
became.
\VS{10}But
{\BD{thou}} hast been thoroughly acquainted
with
my
teaching,
conduct,
purpose,
faith, longsuffering,
love,
endurance,
\VS{11}persecutions,
sufferings:
what [sufferings]
happened
to
me
in
Antioch,
in
Iconium,
in
Lystra;
what
persecutions
I
endured;
and
the
Lord
delivered
me
out
of
all.
\VS{12}And
all
indeed
who
desire
to
live piously
in
Christ
Jesus
will
be
persecuted.
\VS{13}But
wicked
men
and juggling
impostors
shall advance
in
evil, leading
and
being
led
astray.
\VS{14}But
{\BD{thou}},
abide
in
those
things
which thou hast
learned,
and [of
which] thou hast
been fully persuaded,
knowing
of
whom thou hast
learned [them];
\VS{15}and
that
from
a child thou hast known
the
sacred
letters,
which
are
able
to make thee wise unto
salvation,
through
faith
which [is]
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{16}Every
scripture [is] divinely
inspired,
and
profitable
for
teaching,
for
conviction,
for
correction,
for
instruction
in
righteousness;
\VS{17}that
the
man
of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:17 }
Elohim}God
may
be
complete, fully fitted
to
every
good
work.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}I
testify
before
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:1 }
Elohim}God
and
Christ
Jesus,
who
is
about
to
judge
living
and
dead,
and
by
his
appearing
and
his
kingdom,
\VS{2}proclaim
the
word;
be urgent
in
season [and] out
of
season,
convict,
rebuke,
encourage,
with
all longsuffering
and doctrine.
\VS{3}For
the
time shall
be
when
they
will
not
bear
sound
teaching;
but
according
to
their
own
lusts
will heap up
to
themselves
teachers, having
an itching ear;
\VS{4}and
they
will
turn
away
their ear
from
the
truth,
and
will
have
turned
aside
to
fables.
\VS{5}But
{\BD{thou}},
be
sober
in
all
things,
bear evils,
do [the]
work
of
an
evangelist, fill up
the
full measure
of thy
ministry.
\VS{6}For
{\BD{
I}}
am
already
being
poured out,
and
the
time
of
my release
is
come.
\VS{7}I
have combated
the
good combat,
I
have
finished
the
race,
I
have
kept
the
faith.
\VS{8}Henceforth
the
crown
of
righteousness
is
laid up
for
me,
which
the
Lord,
the
righteous
Judge,
will
render
to
me
in
that
day;
but
not
only
to
me,
but
also
to
all
who
love
his
appearing.
\VS{9}Use diligence
to
come
to
me
quickly;
\VS{10}for
Demas
has
forsaken
me, having
loved
the
present
age,
and
is
gone
to
Thessalonica;
Crescens
to
Galatia,
Titus
to
Dalmatia.
\VS{11}Luke
alone
is
with
me.
Take
Mark,
and
bring [him]
with thyself,
for
he
is serviceable
to
me
for
ministry.
\VS{12}But
Tychicus
I have
sent
to
Ephesus.
\VS{13}The cloak
which
I
left behind [me]
in
Troas
at Carpus's,
bring
when thou comest,
and
the
books,
especially
the
parchments.
\VS{14}Alexander
the smith
did
many
evil
things
against
me.
The
Lord
will
render
to
him
according
to
his
works.
\VS{15}Against
whom
be
{\BD{thou}}
also
on thy
guard,
for
he
has
greatly withstood
our
words.
\VS{16}At
my
first defence
no
man stood
with
me,
but
all
deserted
me.
May
it
not
be imputed
to
them.
\VS{17}But
the
Lord
stood
with [me],
and gave
me power,
that
through
me
the
proclamation
might
be
fully made,
and
all [those
of]
the
nations
should
hear;
and
I
was
delivered
out
of
the lion's
mouth.
\VS{18}The
Lord
shall
deliver
me
from
every
wicked
work,
and
shall preserve [me]
for
his
heavenly
kingdom;
to
whom [be]
glory
for
the
ages
of
ages.
Amen.
\VS{19}Salute
Prisca
and
Aquila,
and
the
house
of
Onesiphorus.
\VS{20}Erastus
remained
in
Corinth,
but
Trophimus
I
left behind
in
Miletus
sick.
\VS{21}Use diligence
to
come
before
winter.
Eubulus salutes thee,
and
Pudens,
and
Linus,
and
Claudia,
and
the
brethren
all.
\VS{22}The
Lord
Jesus
Christ [be]
with
your
spirit.
Grace [be]
with
you.
