Chapter 2
2nd Timothy
2:1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in the Messiah YASHUWAH.
2:2 And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
2:3 You therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of YASHUWAH the Messiah.
2:4 No man who wars entangles himself with the affairs of this life; so that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.
2:5 And if a man also strives for masteries, yet he is not crowned, unless he strives lawfully.
2:6 The farmer who labors must be first partaker of the fruits.
2:7 Consider what I say; and YASHUWAH give you understanding in all things.
2:8 Remember that YASHUWAH the Messiah of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
2:9 In which I suffer trouble, as an evil-doer, even to bonds; but the word of Elohim is not bound.
2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they may also obtain the salvation which is in the Messiah YASHUWAH with eternal glory.
2:11 This is a faithful saying: For if we are dead with him, we shall also live with him:
2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he will also deny us:
2:13 If we do not believe, yet he abides faithful: he cannot deny himself.
2:14 Put others in remembrance of these things, charging them before YASHUWAH that they do not contend about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
2:15 Study to show yourself approved to Elohim, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase to more unelohimliness.
2:17 And their word will eat as a canker does: of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus;
2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of Elohim stands firm, having this seal, YASHUWAH knows those who are his. And, Let everyone who names the name of the Messiah depart from iniquity.
2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.
2:21 If a man therefore will cleanse himself from these, he will be a vessel to honor, sanctified and suitable for the master's use, and prepared to every good work.
2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with those who call on YASHUWAH out of a pure heart.
2:23 But avoid foolish and unlearned questions, knowing that they engender contentions.
2:24 And the servant of YASHUWAH must not contend; but be gentle to all men, apt to teach, patient,
2:25 In meekness instructing those who oppose themselves; if Elohim perhaps will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth:
2:26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
