2 Timothy 2:1-13
Grace and Perseverance

1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

1:

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.

3:

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.

4:

5 And if a man also strive for masteries, [yet] is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

5:

6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

6:

7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

7:

8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

8:

9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, [even] unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

9:

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.

10:

11 [It is] a faithful saying: For if we be dead with [him], we shall also live with [him]:

11:

12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny [him], he also will deny us:

12:

13 If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

13:
