and I am persuaded that in thee also.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>6<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>6) Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>7<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>7) For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>8<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>8) Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>9<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>9) Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>10<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>10) But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>11<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>11) Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>12<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>12) For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>13<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>13) Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>14<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>14) That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>15<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>15) This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>16<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>16) The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>17<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>17) But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>18<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>18) The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.<\/span> <p><span class='amdbible_chapter'>2<\/span><span class='amdbible_verse'>1<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>1) Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>2<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>2) And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>3<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>3) Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>4<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>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.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>5<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>5) And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>6<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>6) The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>7<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>7) Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>8<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>8) Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>9<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>9) Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>10<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>10) Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>11<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>11) It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>12<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>12) If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>13<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>13) If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>14<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>14) Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>15<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>15) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>16<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>16) But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>17<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>17) And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>18<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>18) Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>19<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>19) Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>20<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>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 honour, and some to dishonour.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>21<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>21) If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>22<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>22) Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>23<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>23) But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>24<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>24) And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>25<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>25) In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>26<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>26) And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.<\/span> <p><span class='amdbible_chapter'>3<\/span><span class='amdbible_verse'>1<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>1) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>2<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>2) For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>3<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>3) Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>4<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>4) Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>5<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>5) Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>6<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>6) For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>7<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>7) Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>8<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>8) Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>9<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>9) But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>10<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>10) But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>11<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>11) Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>12<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>12) Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>13<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>13) But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>14<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>14) But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>15<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>15) And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>16<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>17<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>17) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.<\/span> <p><span class='amdbible_chapter'>4<\/span><span class='amdbible_verse'>1<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>1) I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>2<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>2) Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>3<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>3) For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>4<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>4) And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>5<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>5) But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>6<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>6) For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>7<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>7) I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>8<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>8) Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>9<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>9) Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>10<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>10) For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>11<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>11) Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>12<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>12) And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>13<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>13) The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>14<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>14) Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>15<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>15) Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>16<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>16) At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>17<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>17) Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>18<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>18) And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>19<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>19) Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>20<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>20) Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>21<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>21) Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.<\/span> <span class='amdbible_verse'>22<\/span> <span class='amdbible_text'>22) The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you.
