2Ti2:1 Therefore thou, my son, be comforted in grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti2:2 And what things thou hast heard of me by many witnesses, betake thou these to faithful men, which shall be able also to teach other men.
2Ti2:3 Travail thou as a good knight of Christ Jesus. [Travail thou as a good knight of Jesus Christ.]
2Ti2:4 No man holding knighthood to God, wrappeth himself [enwrappeth himself] with worldly needs, that he please to him, to whom he hath proved himself.
2Ti2:5 For he that fighteth in a battle [For why and he that striveth in a battle], shall not be crowned, but he fight lawfully.
2Ti2:6 It behooveth an earth-tiller to receive first of the fruits.
2Ti2:7 Understand thou what things I say [Understand what things I say]. For the Lord shall give to thee understanding in all things.
2Ti2:8 Be thou mindful that the Lord Jesus Christ of the seed of David hath risen again from death [from dead], after my gospel,
2Ti2:9 in which I travail unto bonds, as working evil [as evil working], but the word of God is not bound.
2Ti2:10 Therefore I suffer all things [Therefore I sustain all things] for the chosen, that also they get the health, that is in Christ Jesus, with heavenly glory.
2Ti2:11 A true word [ is this that I say ], that if we be dead together [ to the world ], also we shall live together [ in bliss ];
2Ti2:12 if we suffer, [and] we shall reign together [ with Christ ]; if we deny [ him ], [and] he shall deny us;
2Ti2:13 if we believe not, he dwelleth faithful, he may not deny himself.
2Ti2:14 Teach thou these things [Forsooth these things I admonish], witnessing before God. Do not thou strive in words; for to nothing it is profitable, but to the subverting of men that hear.
2Ti2:15 Busily keep [Busily care, or keep ,] to give thyself an approved, praiseable workman to God, without shame, rightly treating the word of truth.
2Ti2:16 But eschew thou unholy and vain speeches, for why those profit much to unfaithfulness, [Forsooth shun thou unholy and vain speeches, soothly they profit much to unpiety,]
2Ti2:17 and the word of them creepeth as a canker. Of whom Philetus is, and Hymenaeus,
2Ti2:18 which felled down [the which fell down] from the truth, saying that the rising again is now done, and they subverted the faith of some men [and turned upside-down the faith of some men].
2Ti2:19 But the firm foundament of God standeth, having this mark [having this mark, either signet ], The Lord knoweth which be his, and, Each man that nameth the name of the Lord, departeth from wickedness [depart from wickedness].
2Ti2:20 But in a great house be not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of tree and of earth; and so some be into honour, and some into despite.
2Ti2:21 Therefore, if any man cleanseth himself from these [Therefore if any man shall cleanse himself from these], he shall be a vessel hallowed into honour, and profitable to the Lord, ready to all good work [ready into all good work].
2Ti2:22 And flee thou [the] desires of youth, but follow thou rightwiseness, faith, charity, peace, with them that inwardly call the Lord [that in-call the Lord] of a clean heart.
2Ti2:23 And eschew thou foolish questions, and without knowing [Forsooth shun thou foolish questions, and without discipline], witting that those gender chidings.
2Ti2:24 But it behooveth the servant of the Lord to chide not [to not chide]; but to be mild to all men, able to teach, patient,
2Ti2:25 with temperance reproving them that against-stand the truth, that sometime God give to them repenting, that they know the truth [that sometime God give them penance to know the truth],
2Ti2:26 and that they rise again from the snares of the devil, of whom they be held prisoners at his will [of whom they be holden captive at his will].
