2 Timothy 2:18 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Timothy, my dear son, be strong through the grace that God gives you in Christ Jesus.
2 You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others.
3 Endure suffering along with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 Soldiers don't get tied up in the affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted them.
5 And athletes cannot win the prize unless they follow the rules.
6 And hardworking farmers should be the first to enjoy the fruit of their labor.
7 Think about what I am saying. The Lord will help you understand all these things.
8 Always remember that Jesus Christ, a descendant of King David, was raised from the dead. This is the Good News I preach.
9 And because I preach this Good News, I am suffering and have been chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained.
10 So I am willing to endure anything if it will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ Jesus to those God has chosen.
11 This is a trustworthy saying: If we die with him, we will also live with him.
12 If we endure hardship, we will reign with him. If we deny him, he will deny us.
13 If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is.
14 Remind everyone about these things, and command them in God's presence to stop fighting over words. Such arguments are useless, and they can ruin those who hear them.
15 Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.
16 Avoid worthless, foolish talk that only leads to more godless behavior.
17 This kind of talk spreads like cancer, as in the case of Hymenaeus and Philetus.
18 They have left the path of truth, claiming that the resurrection of the dead has already occurred; in this way, they have turned some people away from the faith.
19 But God's truth stands firm like a foundation stone with this inscription: "The LORD knows those who are his," and "All who belong to the LORD must turn away from evil."
20 In a wealthy home some utensils are made of gold and silver, and some are made of wood and clay. The expensive utensils are used for special occasions, and the cheap ones are for everyday use.
21 If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.
22 Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.
23 Again I say, don't get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights.
24 A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people.
25 Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people's hearts, and they will learn the truth.
26 Then they will come to their senses and escape from the devil's trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants.
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 ,
25 In G1722 PREP meekness G4236 N-DSF instructing G3811 V-PAP-ASM those that oppose themselves G475 V-PMP-APM ; if God peradventure G3379 ADV will give G1325 V-2AAS-3S them G846 P-DPM repentance G3341 N-ASF to G1519 PREP the acknowledging G1922 N-ASF of the truth G225 N-GSF ;
26 And G2532 CONJ that they may recover themselves G366 V-AAS-3P out of G1537 PREP the G3588 T-GSF snare G3803 N-GSF of G3588 T-GSM the G3588 T-GSM devil G1228 A-GSM , who are taken captive G2221 V-RPP-NPM by G5259 PREP him G846 P-GSM at G1519 PREP his G1565 D-GSM will G2307 N-ASN .
