Chapter 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1:2 to Timothy, my beloved son: Grace, mercy, and<\/em> peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1:3 I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1:4 longing to see you, remembering your tears, so that I may be filled with joy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1:5 recalling the sincere faith which is in you which first dwelled in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is<\/em> in you as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1:6 For this reason I remind you to rekindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1:7 For God has not given us a Spirit of timidity, but of power and love and self-discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1:8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me his prisoner, but join with me<\/em> in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1:9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was granted to us in Christ Jesus before time began,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1:10 but has now been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1:11 For which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1:12 For this reason I also suffer these things; but I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me until that day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1:13 Hold on to the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the <\/em>faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1:14 Protect that good deposit entrusted to you<\/em> through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1:15 You know that all who are in Asia [Roman province] turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1:16 May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1:17 but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1:18 may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day!\u2014and you well know all the ways he served in Ephesus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Chapter 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:2 The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:3 Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:4 No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:5 And if someone likewise competes as an athlete, he is not crowned as victor<\/em> unless he competes according to the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:6 The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:7 Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:9 for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; but the word of God is not imprisoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:10 For this reason I endure all things for the chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and<\/em> with it <\/em>eternal glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:11 The saying is trustworthy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/sup><\/em>For, if we have died with him, we will also live with him;<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:12 if we endure, we will also reign with him;<\/p>\n\n\n\n if we deny him, he also will deny us;<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:13 If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:14 Remind them<\/em> of these things, and solemnly charge them<\/em> in the presence of God not to quarrel about words, which does no good and leads<\/em> to the ruin of the listeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:15 Make every effort to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:16 But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead to more and more ungodliness,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:17 and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:18 who have strayed from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already happened and they are undermining the faith of some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:19 Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal: \u201cThe Lord knows those who are his;\u201d and, \u201cEveryone who names the name of the Lord is to keep away from wickedness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:20 Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver implements, but also implements<\/em> of wood and of clay and some are<\/em> for honor while others are<\/em> for dishonor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:21 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things,<\/em> he will be an implement for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:22 Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and<\/em> peace with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:23 But reject foolish and ignorant controversies, knowing that they breed quarrels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:24 And the Lord\u2019s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:25 with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition. God may perhaps grant them repentance unto a knowledge of the truth,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2:26 and they may come to their senses and escape<\/em> from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chapter 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:1 But understand this, that in the last days difficult times will come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:3 unloving, irreconcilable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:5 having an outward appearance of godliness but have denied its power, avoid such people as<\/em> these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:6 For among them are those who sneak into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, disqualified regarding the faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:9 But they will not make further progress; for their foolishness will be obvious to all, just as was of those two. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:10 You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, my perseverance,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:11 persecutions, and <\/em>sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and<\/em> at Lystra; which persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:12 Indeed, all who want to live in a godly way in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:13 But evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:14 You, however, continue in the things you have learnedand become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:15 and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3:17 that the man of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chapter 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:1 I solemnly charge you<\/em> in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:2 preach the word; be ready in season and<\/em> out of season; correct, rebuke, and <\/em>exhort, with great patience and instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:3 For the<\/em> time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine. Instead, they will accumulate teachers according to their own desires having an itching regarding their hearing,<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:4 and they will turn from listening to the truth and will turn aside to myths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:5 But as for you be self-controlled in all things, suffering hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith;<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:8 Finally, there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved his appearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:9 Make every effort to come to me soon;<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:10 for Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone<\/em> to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:12 But I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:13 When you come, bring the overcoat which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:15 You be on guard against him too, for he strongly opposed our message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:16 At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; may it not be counted against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:17 But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fully accomplished, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was rescued out of the lion\u2019s mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:20 Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus sick at Miletus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:21 Make every effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers and sisters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 4:22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 2 Timothy Chapter 1 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus, 1:2 to Timothy, my beloved […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":655,"menu_order":14,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11470","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/P6yCNX-2Z0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bibleacademyonline.com\/omo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bibleacademyonline.com\/omo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bibleacademyonline.com\/omo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bibleacademyonline.com\/omo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bibleacademyonline.com\/omo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11470"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/bibleacademyonline.com\/omo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11470\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11488,"href":"https:\/\/bibleacademyonline.com\/omo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11470\/revisions\/11488"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bibleacademyonline.com\/omo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bibleacademyonline.com\/omo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
