CHAPTER 2 Endure Hardship

1 You then, my child, be empowered in the favor, in the one in Christ Jesus! 2 And the things you heard from me through many witnesses, these things place unto trustworthy men, ones who will be fit also [²others ¹to teach]! 3 You then suffer hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ! 4 No one soldiering entangles himself in the [²existence ¹matters of]; that [²the ³one recruiting him ¹he should have pleased]. 5 And if also anyone should fight, he is not crowned if [²not ⁴lawfully ¹he should ³fight]. 6 The [³tire by labor ¹farmer ²must] before first [²the ³fruits ¹sharing]. 7 Comprehend what I say! [²may ⁵give ¹for ⁶to you ³the ⁴Lord] understanding in all things. 8 Remember Jesus Christ being raised from the dead! from the seed of David, according to my good news, 9 in which I suffer hardship unto bonds as an evildoer; but the word of God is not bound. 10 Because of this [²all things ¹I endure] on account of the chosen, that also they [²deliverance ¹should attain], of the one in Christ Jesus with [²glory ¹eternal]. 11 Trustworthy is the word, For if we died together, also we shall live together; 12 if we endure, also we shall reign together; if we deny, that one also will deny us; 13 if we disbelieve, that one is sure to abide; to deny himself he is not able. 14 These things be reminded! testifying before the Lord not to argue over words, for no profit unto the undoing of the ones hearing. 15 Hurry [²yourself ³unadulterated ¹to present] to God! a worker unashamed, cutting straight the word of truth. 16 And the profane idle talk stand from! [²unto ³more ¹for] they will progress in impious deeds, 17 and their word as a gangrenous pasture holds forth; whom is Hymeneus and Philetus; 18 who concerning the truth miss the aim, saying, The resurrection already has taken place; and are upsetting the belief of some. 19 However [⁴solid ¹the foundation ²of God ³stands], having this seal, The Lord knows the ones being his, and, Let [⁶abstain ⁷from ⁸iniquity ¹every one ²naming ³the ⁴name ⁵of Christ]! 20 [²in ³a great ¹But] house not only are there utensils of gold and silver, but also wooden and earthenware, and some for honor, but others for dishonor. 21 If then one should have cleared himself from these, he shall be a utensil for honor, having been sanctified and useful to the master, [²for ³every ⁵work ⁴good ¹having been prepared]. 22 But the youthful desires flee from, and pursue righteousness, belief, love, peace with the ones calling upon the Lord out of a clean heart! 23 But the moronish and uninstructed inquiries ask pardon from! knowing that they engender fights. 24 And a bondman of the Lord must not quarrel; but be calm to all, qualified for teaching, enduring evil, 25 in gentleness correcting the ones being in opposition; lest at any time [²should give ³to them ¹God] a change of heart to full knowledge of truth; 26 and they should recover from out of the [²of the ³devil ¹snare], having been taken alive by him for that ones's will.
