| 2nd-Timothy 2:1 | Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace which [is] in Christ Jesus. | So then, my child, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus. |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:2 | And the things thou hast heard of me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, such as shall be competent to instruct others also. | And the things which I have said to you before a number of witnesses, give to those of the faith, so that they may be teachers of others. |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:3 | Take thy share in suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. | Be ready to do without the comforts of life, as one of the army of Christ Jesus. |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:4 | No one going as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who has enlisted him as a soldier. | A fighting man, when he is with the army, keeps himself free from the business of this life so that he may be pleasing to him who has taken him into his army. |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:5 | And if also any one contend [in the games], he is not crowned unless he contend lawfully. | And if a man takes part in a competition he does not get the crown if he has not kept the rules. |

| 2nd-Timothy 2:8 | Remember Jesus Christ raised from among [the] dead, of [the] seed of David, according to my glad tidings, | Keep in mind Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, who came back from the dead, as my good news gives witness: |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:9 | in which I suffer even unto bonds as an evil-doer: but the word of God is not bound. | In which I put up with the hardest conditions, even prison chains, like one who has done a crime; but the word of God is not in chains. |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:10 | For this cause I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that *they* also may obtain the salvation which [is] in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. | But I undergo all things for the saints, so that they may have salvation in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:11 | The word [is] faithful; for if we have died together with [him], we shall also live together; | This is a true saying: If we undergo death with him, then will we be living with him: |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:12 | if we endure, we shall also reign together; if we deny, *he* also will deny us; | If we go on to the end, then we will be ruling with him: if we say we have no knowledge of him, then he will say he has no knowledge of us: |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:13 | if we are unfaithful, *he* abides faithful, for he cannot deny himself. | If we are without faith, still he keeps faith, for he will never be untrue to himself. |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:14 | Of these things put in remembrance, testifying earnestly before the Lord not to have disputes of words, profitable for nothing, to the subversion of the hearers. | Put these things before them, giving them orders in the name of the Lord to keep themselves from fighting about words, which is of no profit, only causing error in their hearers. |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:15 | Strive diligently to present thyself approved to God, a workman that has not to be ashamed, cutting in a straight line the word of truth. | Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way. |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:16 | But profane, vain babblings shun, for they will advance to greater impiety, | But take no part in wrong and foolish talk, for those who do so will go farther into evil, |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:17 | and their word will spread as a gangrene; of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; | And their words will be like poisoned wounds in the flesh: such are Hymenaeus and Philetus; |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:18 | [men] who as to the truth have gone astray, saying that the resurrection has taken place already; and overthrow the faith of some. | Men whose ideas are all false, who say that the coming back from the dead has even now taken place, overturning the faith of some. |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:19 | Yet the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, [The] Lord knows those that are his; and, Let every one who names the name of [the] Lord withdraw from iniquity. | But God's strong base is unchanging, having this sign, The Lord has knowledge of those who are his: and, Let everyone by whom the name of the Lord is named be turned away from evil. |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:20 | But in a great house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also wooden and earthen; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. | Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but others of wood and earth, and some which are honoured and some without honour. |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:21 | If therefore one shall have purified himself from these, [in separating himself from them], he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified, serviceable to the Master, prepared for every good work. | If a man makes himself clean from these, he will be a vessel for honour, made holy, ready for the master's use, ready for every good work. |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:22 | But youthful lusts flee, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those that call upon the Lord out of a pure heart. | But keep yourself from those desires of the flesh which are strong when the body is young, and go after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those whose prayers go up to the Lord from a clean heart. |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:23 | But foolish and senseless questionings avoid, knowing that they beget contentions. | And put away foolish and uncontrolled questionings, seeing that they are a cause of trouble. |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:24 | And a bondman of [the] Lord ought not to contend, but be gentle towards all; apt to teach; forbearing; | For it is not right for the Lord's servant to make trouble, but he is to be gentle to all, ready in teaching, putting up with wrong, |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:25 | in meekness setting right those who oppose, if God perhaps may sometime give them repentance to acknowledgment of [the] truth, | Gently guiding those who go against the teaching; if by chance God may give them a change of heart and true knowledge, |
| 2nd-Timothy 2:26 | and that they may awake up out of the snare of the devil, [who are] taken by him, for *his* will. | And so they may get themselves free from the net of the Evil One, being made the prisoners of the Lord's servant, for the purpose of God. |
