2 Timothy 2:3-18

2 Timothy 2:3-18

[3] as  a good  soldier  of Jesus  Christ.  [4] No man  that warreth  entangleth himself  with the affairs  of this life;  that  he may please  him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.  [5] And  if  a man  also  strive  not  crowned,  he strive  lawfully.  [6] The husbandman  that laboureth  must be  partaker  of the fruits.  [7] Consider  what  I say;  and  the Lord  give  understanding  in  all things.  [8] Remember  that Jesus  Christ  of  the seed  of David  was raised  from  the dead  according to  gospel:  [9] Wherein  I suffer trouble,  as  an evil doer,  even unto  bonds;  but  the word  of God  not  bound.  [10] Therefore  I endure  all things  the elect's  sakes,  that  they  also  obtain  the salvation  which  is in  Christ  Jesus  with  eternal  glory.  [11] It is a faithful  saying:  For  if  we be dead with  also  live with  [12] If  we suffer,  also  reign with  him: if  we deny  him, he also  will deny  [13] If  we believe not,  yet he  abideth  faithful:  he cannot  deny  himself.  [14] put them in remembrance,  charging  them before  not  about words  no  profit,  but to  the subverting  of the hearers.  [15] Study  to shew  thyself  approved  unto God,  a workman  that needeth not to be ashamed,  rightly dividing  the word  of truth.  [16] But  shun  profane  and vain babblings:  for  they will increase  unto  more  ungodliness.  [17] And  their  word  will eat  as  doth a canker:  of whom  Hymenaeus  and  Philetus;  [18] Who  concerning  the truth  have erred,  saying  that the resurrection  is past  already;  and  overthrow  the faith  of some.
