1 Thou G4771 P-2NS therefore G3767 CONJ , my G3450 P-1GS son G5043 N-VSN , be strong G1743 V-PPM-2S in G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DSF grace G5485 N-DSF that G3588 T-DSF is in G1722 PREP Christ G5547 N-DSM Jesus G2424 N-DSM .
2 And G2532 CONJ the things that G3739 R-APN thou hast heard G191 V-AAI-2S of G3844 PREP me G1700 P-1GS among G1223 PREP many G4183 A-GPM witnesses G3144 N-GPM , the same G5023 D-APN commit G3908 V-2AMI-2S thou to faithful G4103 A-DPM men G444 N-DPM , who G3748 R-NPM shall be G2071 V-FXI-3P able G2425 A-NPM to teach G1321 V-AAN others G2087 A-APM also G2532 CONJ .
3 Thou G4771 P-2NS therefore G3767 CONJ endure hardness G2553 V-AAM-2S , as G5613 ADV a good G2570 A-NSM soldier G4757 N-NSM of Jesus G2424 N-GSM Christ G5547 N-GSM .
4 No man G3762 A-NSM that warreth G4754 V-PMP-NSM entangleth himself with G1707 V-PPI-3S the G3588 T-DPF affairs G4230 N-DPF of this life G979 N-GSM ; that G2443 CONJ he G3588 T-DSM may please G700 V-AAS-3S him who hath chosen him to be a soldier G4758 V-AAP-DSM .
5 And G1161 CONJ if G1437 COND a man G5100 X-NSM also G2532 CONJ strive for masteries G118 V-PAS-3S , yet is he not G3756 PRT-N crowned G4737 V-PPI-3S , except G3362 he strive G118 V-AAS-3S lawfully G3545 ADV .
6 The G3588 T-ASM husbandman G1092 N-ASM that laboreth G2872 V-PAP-ASM must G1163 V-PQI-3S be first partaker G3335 V-PAN of G3588 T-GPM the G3588 T-GPM fruits G2590 N-GPM .
7 Consider G3539 V-PAM-2S what G3739 R-APN I say G3004 V-PAI-1S ; and G1063 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM Lord G2962 N-NSM give G1325 V-2AAO-3S thee G4671 P-2DS understanding G4907 N-ASF in G1722 PREP all things G3956 A-DPN .
8 Remember G3421 V-PAM-2S that Jesus G2424 N-ASM Christ G5547 N-ASM of G1537 PREP the seed G4690 N-GSN of David G1138 N-PRI was raised G1453 V-RPP-ASM from G1537 PREP the dead G3498 A-GPM according G2596 PREP to my G3588 T-ASN gospel G2098 N-ASN :
9 Wherein G1722 PREP I suffer trouble G2553 V-PAI-1S , as G5613 ADV an evil doer G2557 A-NSM , even unto G3360 ADV bonds G1199 N-GPM ; but G235 CONJ the G3588 T-NSM word G3056 N-NSM of God G2316 N-GSM is not G3756 PRT-N bound G1210 V-RPI-3S .
10 Therefore G1223 PREP I endure G5278 V-PAI-1S all things G3956 A-APN for the elect\'s sakes G1223 PREP , that G2443 CONJ they G846 P-NPM may also G2532 CONJ obtain G5177 V-2AAS-3P the salvation G4991 N-GSF which G3588 T-GSF is in G1722 PREP Christ G5547 N-DSM Jesus G2424 N-DSM with G3326 PREP eternal G166 A-GSF glory G1391 N-GSF .
11 It is a faithful G4103 A-NSM saying G3056 N-NSM : For G1063 CONJ if G1487 COND we be dead with G4880 V-2AAI-1P him , we shall also G2532 CONJ live with G4800 V-FAI-1P him :
12 If G1487 COND we suffer G5278 V-PAI-1P , we shall also G2532 CONJ reign with G4821 V-FAI-1P him : if G1487 COND we deny G720 V-PNI-1P him , he also G2548 D-NSM-C will deny G720 V-FDI-3S us G2248 P-1AP :
13 If G1487 COND we believe not G569 V-PAI-1P , yet he G1565 D-NSM abideth G3306 V-PAI-3S faithful G4103 A-NSM : he cannot G1410 V-PNI-3S deny G720 V-ADN himself G1438 F-3ASM .
14 Of these things G5023 D-APN put them in remembrance G5279 V-PAM-2S , charging G1263 V-PNP-NSM them before G1799 ADV the G3588 T-GSM Lord G2962 N-GSM that they strive not about words G3054 V-PAN to no profit G1519 PREP , but to G1909 PREP the subverting G2692 N-DSF of G3588 T-GPM the G3588 T-GPM hearers G191 V-PAP-GPM .
15 Study G4704 V-AAM-2S to show G3936 V-AAN thyself G4572 F-2ASM approved G1384 A-ASM unto God G2316 N-DSM , a workman G2040 N-ASM that needeth not to be ashamed G422 A-ASM , rightly dividing G3718 V-PAP-ASM the G3588 T-ASM word G3056 N-ASM of truth G225 N-GSF .
16 But G1161 CONJ shun G4026 V-PMM-2S profane G952 A-APF and vain babblings G2757 N-APF : for G1063 CONJ they will increase G4298 V-FAI-3P unto G1909 PREP more G4119 A-ASN-C ungodliness G763 N-GSF .
17 And G2532 CONJ their G3588 T-NSM word G3056 N-NSM will eat G2192 V-FAI-3S as G5613 ADV doth a canker G1044 N-NSF : of whom G3739 R-GPM is G2076 V-PXI-3S Hymenaeus G5211 N-NSM and G2532 CONJ Philetus G5372 N-NSM ;
18 Who G3748 R-NPM concerning G4012 PREP the G3588 T-ASF truth G225 N-ASF have erred G795 V-AAI-3P , saying G3004 V-PAP-NPM that G3588 T-ASF the G3588 T-ASF resurrection G386 N-ASF is past G1096 V-2RAN already G2235 ADV ; and G2532 CONJ overthrow G396 V-PAI-3P the G3588 T-ASF faith G4102 N-ASF of some G5100 X-GPM .
19 Nevertheless G3305 CONJ the G3588 T-GSM foundation G2310 N-NSM of God G2316 N-GSM standeth G2476 V-RAI-3S sure G4731 A-NSM , having G2192 V-PAP-NSM this G3588 T-ASF seal G4973 N-ASF , The Lord G2962 N-NSM knoweth G1097 V-2AAI-3S them that are G5607 V-PXP-APM his G848 . And G2532 CONJ , Let every one G3956 A-NSM that nameth G3687 V-PAP-NSM the G3588 T-ASN name G3686 N-ASN of Christ G5547 depart G868 V-2AAM-3S from G575 PREP iniquity G93 N-GSF .
20 But G1161 CONJ in G1722 PREP a great G3173 A-DSF house G3614 N-DSF there are G2076 V-PXI-3S not G3756 PRT-N only G3440 ADV vessels G4632 N-NPN of gold G5552 A-NPN and G2532 CONJ of silver G693 A-NPN , but G235 CONJ also G2532 CONJ of wood G3585 A-NPN and G2532 CONJ of earth G3749 A-NPN ; and G2532 CONJ some G3739 R-NPN to G1519 PREP honor G5092 N-ASF , and G1161 CONJ some G3739 R-NPN to G1519 PREP dishonor G819 N-ASF .
21 If G1437 COND a man G5100 X-NSM therefore G3767 CONJ purge G1571 V-AAS-3S himself G1438 F-3ASM from G575 PREP these G5130 D-GPN , he shall be G2071 V-FXI-3S a vessel G4632 N-NSN unto G1519 PREP honor G5092 N-ASF , sanctified G37 V-RPP-NSN , and G2532 CONJ meet for the master\'s use G2173 A-NSN , and prepared G2090 V-RPP-NSN unto G1519 PREP every G3956 A-ASN good G18 A-ASN work G2041 N-ASN .
22 Flee G5343 V-PAM-2S also G1161 CONJ youthful G3512 A-APF lusts G1939 N-APF : but G1161 CONJ follow G1377 V-PAM-2S righteousness G1343 N-ASF , faith G4102 N-ASF , charity G26 N-ASF , peace G1515 N-ASF , with G3326 PREP them that call on G1941 V-PMP-GPM the G3588 T-ASM Lord G2962 N-ASM out of G1537 PREP a pure G2513 A-GSF heart G2588 N-GSF .
23 But G1161 CONJ foolish G3474 A-APF and G2532 CONJ unlearned G521 A-APF questions G2214 N-APF avoid G3868 V-PNM-2S , knowing G1492 V-RAP-NSM that G3754 CONJ they do engender G1080 V-PAI-3P strifes G3163 N-APF .
24 And G1161 CONJ the servant G1401 N-ASM of the Lord G2962 N-GSM must G1163 V-PQI-3S not G3756 PRT-N strive G3164 V-PNN ; but G235 CONJ be G1511 V-PXN gentle G2261 A-ASM unto G4314 PREP all G3956 A-APM men , apt to teach G1317 A-ASM , patient G420 A-ASM ,
