2 Timothy 4:1 — 2 Timothy 4:16

1 I solemnly ^acharge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is to ^1bjudge the living and the dead, and by ²His ^cappearing and His ^dkingdom:

2 Proclaim the ^1aword; ²be ready ³in season and out of season; ^bconvict, ⁴rebuke, ^cexhort with ⁵all ^dlong-suffering and ^eteaching.

3 For the ^1atime will come when they will not tolerate the ^2bhealthy teaching; but according to their own lusts they will heap up to themselves teachers, having ³itching ears,

4 And they will ^1aturn away their ear from the ²truth and will be turned aside to ^3bmyths.

5 But you, be ^asober in all things, ^bsuffer evil, do the work of an ^cevangelist, ¹fully accomplish your ^2dministry.

6 For I am already being ^1apoured out, and the time of my ^2bdeparture is at hand.

7 I have ^1afought the good fight; I have ^2bfinished the course; I have kept the ^cfaith.

8 Henceforth there is ¹laid up for me the ^2acrown of ^brighteousness, with which the Lord, the ^3crighteous Judge, will ^drecompense me in ^4ethat day, and not only me but also all those who have ^floved His ^5gappearing.

9 Be diligent to ^acome to me quickly;

10 For ^aDemas has ^babandoned me, having ^1cloved the ^dpresent age, and has gone to ^eThessalonica; Crescens to ^fGalatia; ^gTitus to ²Dalmatia.

11 ^aLuke alone is with me. Take ^bMark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for the ^cministry.

12 But ^aTychicus I have sent to ^bEphesus.

13 The ¹cloak which I left in ^2aTroas with Carpus, bring when you come, and the ³scrolls, especially the parchments.

14 ^aAlexander the coppersmith did many evil things to me; the Lord will ^brecompense him according to his works.

15 You also guard against him, for he greatly opposed our words.

16 At my first defense no one was with me to support me, but all ^aabandoned me. May it not be counted against them.

2 Timothy 2:16 — 2 Timothy 3:17

16 But ^aavoid ^1bprofane, ^cvain babblings, for they will advance to more ^2dungodliness,

17 And their word will ¹spread like ²gangrene, of whom are ^aHymenaeus and Philetus,

18 Who concerning the ^1atruth have ^2bmisaimed, saying that the ^cresurrection has ³already taken place, and overthrow the ^4dfaith of some.

19 However the firm ^1afoundation of God stands, having this ^2bseal, The Lord ^cknows those who are His, and, Let everyone who ^dnames the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.

20 ¹But in a ²great house there are not only ³gold and silver vessels but also ⁴wooden and earthen; and some are unto ^ahonor, and some unto dishonor.

21 If therefore anyone ¹cleanses himself from ^2athese, he will be a ^bvessel ³unto honor, ^csanctified, ^duseful to the master, ^eprepared unto every good work.

22 But ^aflee youthful ¹lusts, and ^bpursue ²righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who ^3ccall on the Lord out of a ^4dpure heart.

23 But ^1afoolish ^bquestionings and those arising from an ²untrained mind refuse, knowing that they beget contentions.

24 But a ^aslave of the Lord ought ^bnot to contend but be gentle toward all, apt to ^cteach, bearing with wrong;

25 In ^ameekness correcting those who ^boppose, if perhaps God may give them ^1crepentance unto the ^2dfull knowledge of the truth,

26 And they may ^1areturn to soberness out of the ^2bsnare of the ³devil, having been caught alive by him, unto ^4cHis will.

CHAPTER 3

1 ¹But know this, that in the ²last days ³difficult ^atimes will come.

2 For ¹men will be ²lovers of self, ^alovers of money, ^bboasters, ³arrogant, ^4crevilers, ^bdisobedient to parents, ⁵unthankful, ^dunholy,

3 ^aWithout natural affection, ¹implacable, ^bslanderers, ^cwithout self-control, savage, ^cnot lovers of good,

4 ^1aTraitors, ²reckless, ^3bblinded with pride, ⁴lovers of ^cpleasure rather than ^dlovers of God,

5 Having an ¹outward ^aform of ^bgodliness, though ^cdenying its ²power; from these also ^dturn away.

6 For of these are those who ^acreep into ^bhouses and take captive silly women heaped with sins, who are led by ^cvarious desires

7 And are always learning yet never able to come to the ^1afull knowledge of the truth.

8 And in the manner that ¹Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these also ^aoppose the ^2btruth; men ^ccorrupted in mind, ^3ddisapproved concerning the ^4efaith.

9 But they will not ^aadvance farther, for their ¹folly will be completely manifest to all, as also the folly of ²those became.

10 But you have ^aclosely followed my teaching, ¹conduct, ^2bpurpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,

11 ^aPersecutions, sufferings, such as befell me in ^bAntioch, in ^cIconium, in ^1dLystra. Such persecutions I bore, and out of them all the Lord ^edelivered me.

12 And indeed all who ¹desire to ²live ^agodly in Christ Jesus will be ^bpersecuted.

13 But evil men and ¹impostors will grow worse and worse, ^adeceiving and being deceived.

14 But you, ¹continue in the ²things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from which ones you have learned them

15 ¹And that ^afrom a babe you have known the ^bsacred writings, which are able to make you ^cwise unto ^dsalvation through the ²faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 ¹All ^aScripture is ²God-breathed and profitable for ^bteaching, for ³conviction, for ⁴correction, for ⁵instruction in righteousness,

17 That the ^1aman of God may be ²complete, fully ^3bequipped for every good work.

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.

1 Timothy 6:1 — 2 Timothy 1:2

1 As many as are ^aslaves under the yoke should regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, lest the ^bname of God and ¹our ^cteaching be ²blasphemed.

2 And those who have believing masters should not despise them, because they are ^abrothers; but rather they should ¹serve them, because those who recompense them for the kindly service received are believers and beloved. These things ^bteach and ^cexhort.

3 If anyone teaches ^1adifferent things and does not consent to ^2bhealthy words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the teaching which is according to ^3cgodliness,

4 He is ^1ablinded with pride, understanding ^bnothing, but is ²diseased with ^cquestionings and ^dcontentions of words, out of which come ^eenvy, ^fstrife, ³slanders, evil suspicions,

5 ¹Perpetual wranglings of men ^acorrupted in mind and ²deprived of the ³truth, ⁴supposing ^bgodliness to be a means of ^cgain.

6 But ^agodliness with ^1bcontentment is ^2cgreat gain;

7 For ¹we have brought ^anothing into the world, because ^bneither can we carry anything out.

8 But having ^afood and ¹covering, with these we will be ^2bcontent.

9 But those who ¹intend to be ^arich fall into temptation and a ^bsnare and many foolish and harmful ²desires, which ³plunge men into ⁴destruction and ruin.

10 For the ^alove of money is ¹a root of all evils, because of which some, ²aspiring after money, have ³been ^bled away from the ^4cfaith and pierced themselves through with many pains.

11 But you, O ^1aman of God, ^bflee these things, and ^cpursue ^2drighteousness, ^3egodliness, ^4ffaith, ⁵love, ⁶endurance, ⁷meekness.

12 ^1aFight the good fight of the ^bfaith; lay ^chold on the ²eternal life, ³to which you were ^dcalled and have ^4econfessed the good confession before many ^fwitnesses.

13 I ^acharge you before God, who preserves all things in life, and Christ Jesus, who ^btestified the good confession before ^cPontius Pilate,

14 To keep ¹the commandment spotless, ^awithout reproach, until the ^2bappearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 ¹Which in ^aits own times ²the ^bblessed and ^conly Sovereign will show, the ^dKing of those who reign as kings and ^eLord of those who rule as lords,

16 Who alone has ^aimmortality, dwelling in unapproachable ^blight, whom ^cno man has seen nor can see, to whom be ^dhonor and eternal ^emight. Amen.

17 ^aCharge those who are rich in the ^bpresent age not to be ^chigh-minded, nor to set their ^dhope on the ^euncertainty of riches but on God, who ^faffords us all things ^grichly for our enjoyment;

18 To do ^1agood, to be ^2brich in good works, to be ready to ^cdistribute, to be ones willing to share;

19 ^aLaying away for themselves a good ^bfoundation as a ^ctreasure for the ¹future, that they may lay ^dhold on ²that which is really life.

20 O Timothy, ^aguard the ¹deposit, ^bturning away from ^cprofane, ^dvain babblings and oppositions from ²what is falsely called knowledge,

21 Because of which some, professing this, have ^1amisaimed regarding the ^bfaith. ^cGrace be with you.

CHAPTER 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the ^awill of God ^baccording to the ^1cpromise of ^dlife, which is in Christ Jesus,

2 To Timothy, beloved ^achild: Grace, ^1bmercy, peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
