II Timothy 2 Flashcards
II Timothy 2:1
You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus,
II Timothy 2:2
and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
II Timothy 2:3
Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
II Timothy 2:4
No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him.
II Timothy 2:5
An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
II Timothy 2:6
It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.
II Timothy 2:7
Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
II Timothy 2:8
Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel,
II Timothy 2:9
for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound!
II Timothy 2:10
Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
II Timothy 2:11
The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him;
II Timothy 2:12
if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us;
II Timothy 2:13
if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.
II Timothy 2:14
Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.
II Timothy 2:15
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
II Timothy 2:16
But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,
II Timothy 2:17
and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
II Timothy 2:18
who have swerved from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already happened. They are upsetting the faith of some.
II Timothy 2:19
But God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.”
II Timothy 2:20
Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable.
II Timothy 2:21
Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.
II Timothy 2:22
So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
II Timothy 2:23
Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels.
II Timothy 2:24
And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil,
II Timothy 2:25
correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth,
II Timothy 2:26
and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
