NHEBME - II Timothy - 2

2:1  You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Messiah Yeshua.

2:2  The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.

2:3  You therefore must share in hardship, as a good soldier of Messiah Yeshua.

2:4  No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.

2:5  Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he has competed by the rules.

2:6  The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.

2:7  Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.

2:8  Remember Yeshua the Messiah, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my Good News,

2:9  in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God's word is not chained.

2:10  Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones' sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Messiah Yeshua with eternal glory.

2:11  This saying is faithful: "For if we died with him, we will also live with him.

2:12  If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.

2:13  If we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself."

2:14  Remind them of these things, charging them in the presence of God, that they do not argue about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.

2:15  Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

2:16  But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness,

2:17  and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

2:18  men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.

2:19  However God's firm foundation stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness."

2:20  Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor, and some for dishonor.

2:21  If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master's use, prepared for every good work.

2:22  Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

2:23  But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.

2:24  The Lord's servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,

2:25  in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,

2:26  and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.
