{\MT Paul’s Second Letter to Timothy

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul,
an
apostle
of
Jesus
Christ,
by
the
will
of
God,
according
to
the
promise
of
life,
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{2}To
Timothy
my dearly
beloved
son,
grace,
mercy,
and
peace,
from
God
the
Father,
and
from
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord.
\VS{3}I give
thanks
to
God,
whom
I
serve
from
my
forefathers
with
a
pure
conscience,
that
without ceasing,
I
have
a
remembrance
of thee
in
my
prayers,
night
and
day.
\VS{4}Desiring
to
see thee,
being mindful
of thy
tears,
that
I
may be
filled
with
joy,
\VS{5}Calling
to
mind
that
faith
which
is
in thee unfeigned,
which
also
dwelt
first
in thy
grandmother
Lois,
and
in thy
mother
Eunice,
and
I
am certain
that
in thee
also.
\VS{6}For
which
cause
I admonish thee,
that thou stir up
the grace
of
God
which
is
in thee,
by
the imposition
of
my
hands.
\VS{7}For
God hath
not
given
us
the
spirit
of fear:
but
of
power,
and
of
love,
and
of sobriety.
\VS{8}Be
not thou
therefore
ashamed
of
the
testimony
of
our
Lord,
nor
of
me
his
prisoner:
but labour
with
the
gospel,
according
to
the
power
of
God,
\VS{9}Who hath delivered
us
and
called
us
by
his
holy
calling,
not
according
to
our
works,
but
according
to
his
own
purpose
and
grace,
which
was
given
us
in
Christ
Jesus
before
the
times
of
the world.
\VS{10}But
is
now
made
manifest
by
the illumination
of
our Saviour
Jesus
Christ,
who hath destroyed
death,
and hath
brought
to
light
life
and incorruption
by
the
gospel:
\VS{11}Wherein
I
am
appointed
a
preacher,
and
an
apostle,
and
teacher
of
the Gentiles.
\VS{12}For
which
cause
I
also
suffer
these
things:
but
I
am
not
ashamed.
For
I
know
whom
I
have
believed,
and
I
am certain
that
he
is
able
to
keep
that
which
I
have committed unto
him,
against
that
day.
\VS{13}Hold
the form
of
sound
words,
which thou hast
heard
of
me
in
faith,
and
in
the
love
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{14}Keep
the
good
thing committed
to thy trust
by
the
Holy Ghost,
who dwelleth
in
us.
\VS{15}Thou knowest
this,
that
all
they
who
are
in
Asia,
are
turned
away
from
me:
of
whom
are Phigellus
and
Hermogenes.
\VS{16}The
Lord
give
mercy
to
the
house
of
Onesiphorus:
because
he hath
often
refreshed
me,
and hath
not
been
ashamed
of
my
chain:
\VS{17}But
when
he
was
come
to
Rome,
he carefully
sought
me,
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 unto
me
at
Ephesus, thou
very
well knowest.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Thou
therefore,
my
son,
be
strong
in
the
grace
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus:
\VS{2}And
the
things
which thou hast
heard
of
me
by
many
witnesses,
the
same
commend
to
faithful
men,
who
shall
be
fit
to
teach
others
also.
\VS{3}Labour
as
a
good
soldier
of
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{4}No
man, being a
soldier
to God, entangleth himself
with secular businesses;
that he
may
please
him
to
whom he hath engaged himself.
\VS{5}For
he
also
that striveth
for
the mastery,
is
not
crowned,
except
he strive
lawfully.
\VS{6}The husbandman, that laboureth,
must
first partake
of
the
fruits.
\VS{7}Understand
what
I
say:
for
the
Lord
will
give thee
in
all
things
understanding.
\VS{8}Be mindful
that
the Lord
Jesus
Christ
is
risen
again
from
the
dead,
of
the
seed
of
David,
according
to
my
gospel.
\VS{9}Wherein
I labour
even unto bands,
as
an evildoer;
but
the
word
of
God
is
not
bound.
\VS{10}Therefore
I
endure
all
things
for
the
sake
of
the
elect,
that
they
also
may
obtain
the
salvation,
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus,
with heavenly
glory.
\VS{11}A
faithful
saying:
for
if
we
be dead
with
him,
we
shall
live
also
with
him.
\VS{12}If
we suffer,
we
shall
also
reign
with
him.
If
we
deny
him,
he
will
also
deny us.
\VS{13}If
we
believe
not,
he continueth
faithful,
he
can
not
deny
himself.
\VS{14}Of
these
things put
them
in mind, charging
them
before
the
Lord. Contend
not
in
words,
for
it
is
to
no profit,
but
to
the subverting
of
the
hearers.
\VS{15}Carefully study
to
present thyself
approved unto
God,
a
workman
that needeth not
to
be
ashamed, rightly
handling
the
word
of
truth.
\VS{16}But shun
profane
and vain babblings:
for
they grow
much towards
ungodliness.
\VS{17}And
their
speech spreadeth
like
a canker:
of
whom
are Hymeneus
and
Philetus:
\VS{18}Who
have erred
from
the
truth,
saying,
that
the
resurrection
is past
already,
and
have subverted
the
faith
of
some.
\VS{19}But
the
sure
foundation
of
God standeth
firm,
having
this
seal:
the
Lord knoweth
who
are
his;
and
let
every
one
depart
from
iniquity
who nameth
the
name
of
the
Lord.
\VS{20}But
in
a
great
house
there
are
not
only
vessels
of
gold
and
silver,
but
also
of
wood
and earth:
and
some
indeed unto honour,
but
some unto dishonour.
\VS{21}If
any
man
therefore
shall cleanse
himself
from
these,
he
shall
be
a
vessel unto honour,
sanctified
and profitable
to
the
Lord,
prepared unto
every
good
work.
\VS{22}But
flee thou
youthful
desires,
and
pursue
justice,
faith, charity,
and
peace,
with
them
that
call
on
the
Lord
out
of
a
pure
heart.
\VS{23}And avoid
foolish
and unlearned
questions,
knowing
that
they beget strifes.
\VS{24}But
the
servant
of
the
Lord
must
not wrangle:
but
be mild towards
all
men, apt
to
teach,
patient,
\VS{25}With modesty admonishing
them
that resist
the
truth:
if peradventure
God
may
give
them
repentance
to know
the
truth,
\VS{26}And
they
may recover
themselves
from
the snares
of
the
devil,
by
whom
they
are
held
captive
at
his
will.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Know
also
this,
that,
in
the
last
days,
shall
come dangerous
times.
\VS{2}Men
shall
be
lovers
of
themselves, covetous, haughty, proud,
blasphemers,
disobedient
to
parents,
ungrateful, wicked,
\VS{3}Without affection,
without peace,
slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful,
without kindness,
\VS{4}Traitors, stubborn, puffed up,
and
lovers
of pleasures
more
than
of
God:
\VS{5}Having
an appearance
indeed
of
godliness,
but
denying
the
power thereof.
Now
these
avoid.
\VS{6}For
of
these sort
are
they
who creep
into
houses,
and
lead
captive silly
women laden
with
sins,
who
are
led
away
with divers
desires:
\VS{7}Ever
learning,
and
never attaining
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth.
\VS{8}Now
as
Jannes
and Mambres resisted
Moses,
so
these
also
resist
the
truth,
men corrupted
in
mind, reprobate
concerning
the
faith.
\VS{9}But
they
shall
proceed
no farther;
for
their
folly
shall
be manifest
to
all
men,
as
theirs
also
was.
\VS{10}But thou hast fully known
my
doctrine, manner
of life,
purpose,
faith, longsuffering,
love,
patience,
\VS{11}Persecutions, afflictions:
such
as
came
upon
me
at
Antioch,
at
Iconium,
and
at
Lystra:
what
persecutions
I
endured,
and
out
of
them
all
the
Lord
delivered
me.
\VS{12}And
all
that
will
live
godly
in
Christ
Jesus,
shall suffer persecution.
\VS{13}But
evil
men
and seducers
shall grow
worse
and
worse:
erring,
and driving
into error.
\VS{14}But
continue thou
in
those
things
which thou hast
learned,
and
which
have
been committed
to thee:
knowing
of
whom thou hast
learned
them;
\VS{15}And
because
from thy
infancy thou hast known
the holy scriptures,
which
can instruct thee
to
salvation,
by
the
faith
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{16}All
scripture,
inspired
of
God,
is
profitable
to teach,
to reprove,
to correct,
to instruct
in
justice,
\VS{17}That
the
man
of
God
may
be perfect, furnished
to
every
good
work.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}I
charge thee,
before
God
and
Jesus
Christ,
who
shall
judge
the
living
and
the
dead,
by
his coming,
and
his
kingdom:
\VS{2}Preach
the
word:
be instant
in
season, out
of
season:
reprove,
entreat,
rebuke
in
all
patience
and doctrine.
\VS{3}For
there shall
be
a
time,
when
they
will
not
endure
sound
doctrine;
but,
according
to
their
own
desires,
they
will heap
to
themselves
teachers, having itching
ears:
\VS{4}And
will
indeed
turn
away
their
hearing
from
the
truth,
but
will
be
turned unto
fables.
\VS{5}But
be thou vigilant, labour
in
all
things,
do
the
work
of
an
evangelist,
fulfill thy
ministry.
Be
sober.
\VS{6}For
I
am
even
now
ready
to
be sacrificed:
and
the
time
of
my dissolution
is
at hand.
\VS{7}I
have
fought a
good
fight,
I
have
finished
my
course,
I
have
kept
the
faith.
\VS{8}As
to
the rest,
there
is
laid up
for
me
a
crown
of
justice,
which
the
Lord
the
just
judge
will
render
to
me
in
that
day:
and
not
only
to
me,
but
to
them
also
that
love
his coming.
Make haste
to come
to
me
quickly.
\VS{9}For Demas hath left
me, loving this world,
and
is gone
to Thessalonica:
\VS{10}Crescens
into
Galatia,
Titus
into
Dalmatia.
\VS{11}Only
Luke
is
with
me.
Take
Mark,
and
bring
him
with thee:
for
he
is profitable
to
me
for
the
ministry.
\VS{12}But
Tychicus
I have
sent
to
Ephesus.
\VS{13}The cloak
that
I
left
at
Troas,
with
Carpus,
when thou comest,
bring
with thee,
and
the
books,
especially
the
parchments.
\VS{14}Alexander
the
coppersmith hath
done
me
much
evil:
the
Lord
will
reward
him
according
to
his
works:
\VS{15}Whom
do thou
also avoid,
for
he hath
greatly withstood
our
words.
\VS{16}At
my
first answer
no
man stood
with
me,
but
all forsook
me:
may
it
not
be laid
to
their charge.
\VS{17}But
the
Lord
stood
by
me,
and
strengthened
me,
that
by
me
the
preaching
may
be
accomplished,
and
that
all
the
Gentiles
may
hear:
and
I
was
delivered
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
lion.
\VS{18}The
Lord hath
delivered
me
from
every
evil
work:
and
will preserve
me unto
his
heavenly
kingdom,
to
whom
be
glory
for
ever
and
ever.
Amen.
\VS{19}Salute
Prisca
and
Aquila,
and
the
household
of
Onesiphorus.
\VS{20}Erastus
remained
at
Corinth.
And
Trophimus
I
left
sick
at
Miletus.
\VS{21}Make haste
to
come
before
winter
Eubulus
and
Pudens,
and
Linus
and
Claudia,
and
all
the
brethren, salute thee.
\VS{22}The
Lord
Jesus
Christ
be
with thy
spirit.
Grace
be
with
you. Amen.
