- II TIMOTHY 1
- 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,
- according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
- 1:2 To Timothy, [my] dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, [and]
- peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
- 1:3 I thank God, whom I serve from [my] forefathers with pure
- conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in
- my prayers night and day;
- 1:4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears,
- that I may be filled with joy;
- 1:5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in
- thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother
- Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
- 1:6 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.
- 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of
- power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
- 1:8 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;
- 1:9 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,
- 1:10 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:
- 1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and
- a teacher of the Gentiles.
- 1:12 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.
- 1:13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard
- of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
- 1:14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by
- the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
- 1:15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be
- turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
- 1:16 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for
- he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
- 1:17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very
- diligently, and found [me].
- 1:18 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.
-
- II TIMOTHY 2
- 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in
- Christ Jesus.
- 2:2 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.
- 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of
- Jesus Christ.
- 2:4 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.
- 2:5 And if a man also strive for masteries, [yet] is he not
- crowned, except he strive lawfully.
- 2:6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of
- the fruits.
- 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding
- in all things.
- 2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was
- raised from the dead according to my gospel:
- 2:9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, [even] unto
- bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
- 2:10 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.
- 2:11 [It is] a faithful saying: For if we be 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 also will deny us:
- 2:13 If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he cannot
- deny himself.
- 2:14 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.
- 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that
- needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
- 2:16 But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will
- increase unto more ungodliness.
- 2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is
- Hymenaeus 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 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.
- 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
- honour, and some to dishonour.
- 2:21 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.
- 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness,
- faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a
- pure heart.
- 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that
- they do gender strifes.
- 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be
- gentle unto all [men], apt to teach, patient,
- 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if
- God peradventure 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.
-
- II TIMOTHY 3
- 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times
- shall come.
- 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,
- boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
- unthankful, unholy,
- 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
- incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
- 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more
- than lovers of God;
- 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power
- thereof: from such turn away.
- 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and
- lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers
- lusts,
- 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of
- the truth.
- 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these
- also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate
- concerning the faith.
- 3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall
- be manifest unto all [men], as theirs also was.
- 3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life,
- purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
- 3:11 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.
- 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall
- suffer persecution.
- 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse,
- deceiving, and being deceived.
- 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned
- and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned
- [them];
- 3:15 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.
- 3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is]
- profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
- instruction in righteousness:
- 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished
- unto all good works.
-
- II TIMOTHY 4
- 4:1 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;
- 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;
- reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
- 4:3 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;
- 4:4 And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and
- shall be turned unto fables.
- 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the
- work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
- 4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my
- departure is at hand.
- 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course,
- I have kept the faith:
- 4:8 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.
- 4:9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
- 4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present
- world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia,
- Titus unto Dalmatia.
- 4:11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with
- thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
- 4:12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
- 4:13 The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou
- comest, bring [with thee], and the books, [but] especially the
- parchments.
- 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord
- reward him according to his works:
- 4:15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood
- our words.
- 4:16 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.
- 4:17 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.
- 4:18 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.
- 4:19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of
- Onesiphorus.
- 4:20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at
- Miletum sick.
- 4:21 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth
- thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
- 4:22 The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with thy spirit. Grace [be]
- with you. Amen.
