TI2 1:1  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the
 promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
TI2 1:2  To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God
 the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
TI2 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;
TI2 1:4  Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may
 be filled with joy;
TI2 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.
TI2 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.
TI2 1:7  For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of
 love, and of a sound mind.
TI2 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;
TI2 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,
TI2 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:
TI2 1:11  Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher
 of the Gentiles.
TI2 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.
TI2 1:13  Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in
 faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
TI2 1:14  That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost
 which dwelleth in us.
TI2 1:15  This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away
 from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
TI2 1:16  The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft
 refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
TI2 1:17  But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found
 me.
TI2 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.
TI2 2:1  Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ
 Jesus.
TI2 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.
TI2 2:3  Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
TI2 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.
TI2 2:5  And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except
 he strive lawfully.
TI2 2:6  The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
TI2 2:7  Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all
 things.
TI2 2:8  Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the
 dead according to my gospel:
TI2 2:9  Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the
 word of God is not bound.
TI2 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.
TI2 2:11  It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also
 live with him:
TI2 2:12  If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also
 will deny us:
TI2 2:13  If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
TI2 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.
TI2 2:15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not
 to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
TI2 2:16  But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more
 ungodliness.
TI2 2:17  And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and
 Philetus;
TI2 2:18  Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is
 past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
TI2 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.
TI2 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.
TI2 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.
TI2 2:22  Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity,
 peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
TI2 2:23  But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do
 gender strifes.
TI2 2:24  And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all
 men, apt to teach, patient,
TI2 2:25  In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God
 peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
TI2 2:26  And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil,
 who are taken captive by him at his will.
TI2 3:1  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
TI2 3:2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
 proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
TI2 3:3  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent,
 fierce, despisers of those that are good,
TI2 3:4  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of
 God;
TI2 3:5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such
 turn away.
TI2 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,
TI2 3:7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
TI2 3:8  Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the
 truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
TI2 3:9  But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest
 unto all men, as their's also was.
TI2 3:10  But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose,
 faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
TI2 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.
TI2 3:12  Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer
 persecution.
TI2 3:13  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and
 being deceived.
TI2 3:14  But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been
 assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
TI2 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.
TI2 3:16  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
 doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
TI2 3:17  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good
 works.
TI2 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;
TI2 4:2  Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke,
 exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
TI2 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;
TI2 4:4  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be
 turned unto fables.
TI2 4:5  But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an
 evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
TI2 4:6  For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at
 hand.
TI2 4:7  I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the
 faith:
TI2 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.
TI2 4:9  Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
TI2 4:10  For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is
 departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
TI2 4:11  Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is
 profitable to me for the ministry.
TI2 4:12  And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
TI2 4:13  The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring
 with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.
TI2 4:14  Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him
 according to his works:
TI2 4:15  Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
TI2 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.
TI2 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.
TI2 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.
TI2 4:19  Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
TI2 4:20  Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.
TI2 4:21  Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and
 Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
TI2 4:22  The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
