2 Timothy 1:3 — 2 Timothy 2:15
3 I thank God, whom I 1aserve 2from my bforefathers in a 3cpure conscience, while unceasingly I have remembrance concerning you in my petitions dnight and day,
4 aLonging to see you, remembering your btears, that I may be cfilled with joy;
5 Having been reminded of the aunfeigned faith in you, which 1dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your bmother Eunice, and I am persuaded dwells also in you.
6 For which cause I remind you to 1fan into flame the agift of God, which is in you through the 2blaying on of my hands.
7 For God has not given us a 1aspirit of bcowardice, but 2of cpower and of dlove and of esobermindedness.
8 1Therefore do 2not be aashamed of the btestimony of our Lord nor of me cHis prisoner; but dsuffer evil with the 3egospel 4according to the fpower of God;
9 Who has saved us and 1acalled us with a holy calling, not according to our bworks but according to His own 2cpurpose and dgrace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus 3before the etimes of the ages
10 But now has been 1amanifested through the bappearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who 2nullified cdeath and brought 3dlife and 4eincorruption to light through the gospel,
11 For 1which I was aappointed a 2herald and an apostle and a teacher.
12 For which 1cause also I asuffer these things; but I am 2not bashamed, for I know 3whom I have cbelieved, and I am persuaded that He is able to dguard 4my edeposit unto 5fthat day.
13 aHold a 1pattern of the 2bhealthy words that you have cheard from me, in the 3dfaith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
14 aGuard the good 1deposit through the Holy bSpirit who 2dwells in us.
15 This you know, that all who are in 1aAsia 2bturned away from me, of whom are 3Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 May the Lord grant amercy to the house of 1bOnesiphorus, for he often crefreshed me and was not dashamed of my echain;
17 But being in aRome, he sought me out diligently and found me.
18 May the Lord grant him to find amercy from the Lord in 1bthat day. And in how many things he served me in cEphesus, you know best.
CHAPTER 2
1 You therefore, my achild, be 1bempowered in the 2cgrace which is in Christ Jesus;
2 And the 1things which you have aheard from me through many bwitnesses, these 2ccommit to 3dfaithful men, who will be competent to eteach others also.
3 aSuffer evil with me as a good 1bsoldier of Christ Jesus.
4 No one serving as a soldier 1aentangles himself with the baffairs of this 2life, that he may please the one who enlisted him.
5 And also if anyone 1acontends in the games, he is not 2bcrowned unless he contends lawfully.
6 The laboring 1afarmer must be the first to partake of the fruit.
7 Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, 1araised from the dead, of the 2bseed of David, according to 3cmy gospel,
9 In which I asuffer evil unto bbonds as a ccriminal; but the dword of God is 1not bound.
10 Therefore I aendure all things for the sake of the 1bchosen ones, that they themselves also may obtain the csalvation which is in Christ Jesus 2with deternal glory.
11 aFaithful is the word: 1For if we 2bdied with Him, we will also 3clive with Him;
12 If we 1aendure, we will also 2breign with Him; if we cdeny Him, He also will 3deny us;
13 If we are afaithless, He remains 1faithful, for He 2bcannot deny Himself.
14 Remind them of these things, solemnly acharging them before God not to have bcontentions of words, which is cuseful for nothing, to the 1ruin of those who hear.
15 Be diligent to apresent yourself bapproved to God, an unashamed workman, 1cutting straight the cword of the 2dtruth.
