## Text

[1] You therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. [2] And the things that you have heard me say among many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be qualified to teach others as well. [3] Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. [4] A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him. [5] Likewise, a competitor does not receive the crown unless he competes according to the rules. [6] The hardworking farmer should be the first to partake of the crops. [7] Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all things. [8] Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David, as proclaimed by my gospel, [9] for which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained! [10] For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. [11] This is a trustworthy saying:
If we died with Him,
we will also live with Him; [12] if we endure,
we will also reign with Him;
if we deny Him,
He will also deny us; [13] if we are faithless,
He remains faithful,
for He cannot deny Himself. [14] Remind the believers of these things, charging them before God to avoid quarreling over words, which succeeds only in leading the listeners to ruin. [15] Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth. [16] But avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness, [17] and the talk of such men will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, [18] who have deviated from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already occurred, and they undermine the faith of some. [19] Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.” [20] A large house contains not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay. Some indeed are for honorable use, but others are for common use. [21] So if anyone cleanses himself of what is unfit, he will be a vessel for honor: sanctified, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work. [22] Flee from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, together with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. [23] But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarreling. [24] And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing. [25] He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth. [26] Then they will come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to his will.
