Be Strong in Grace
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 2
|
|
1. You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
|
|
2. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
|
|
3. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
|
|
4. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.
|
|
5. And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
|
|
6. The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops.
|
|
7. Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
|
|
|
|
8. Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel,
|
|
9. for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained.
|
|
10. Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
|
|
|
|
11. This is a faithful saying:
|
|
For if we died with Him,
|
|
We shall also live with Him.
|
|
|
|
12. If we endure,
|
|
We shall also reign with Him.
|
|
If we deny Him,
|
|
He also will deny us.
|
|
|
|
13. If we are faithless,
|
|
He remains faithful;
|
|
He cannot deny Himself.Approved and Disapproved Workers
|
|
|
|
14. Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers.
|
|
15. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
|
|
16. But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness.
|
|
17. And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort,
|
|
18. who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some.
|
|
19. Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity."
|
|
|
|
20. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor.
|
|
21. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
|
|
22. Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
|
|
23. But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.
|
|
24. And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,
|
|
25. in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth,
|
|
26. and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
