Chapter 2 Thou therefore, my son,
be strong in the grace that is in Christ

00:08.540 --> 00:09.020
Jesus.

00:09.800 --> 00:14.940
And the things that thou hast heard of me
among many witnesses, the same commit thou

00:14.940 --> 00:18.600
to faithful men, who shall be able to
teach others also.

00:20.080 --> 00:24.520
Thou therefore endure hardness as a good
soldier of Jesus Christ.

00:25.300 --> 00:30.820
No man that woreth entangleth himself with
the affairs of this life, that he may

00:30.820 --> 00:33.600
please him who hath chosen him to be a
soldier.

00:34.400 --> 00:39.840
And if a man also strive for masteries,
yet is he not crowned, except he strive

00:39.840 --> 00:40.400
lawfully.

00:40.800 --> 00:44.640
The husbandman that laboureth must be
first partaker of the fruits.

00:45.680 --> 00:49.800
Consider what I say, and the Lord give
thee understanding in all things.

00:50.540 --> 00:55.040
Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of
David, was raised from the dead,

00:55.040 --> 00:56.560
according to my gospel.

00:57.520 --> 01:03.280
Wherein I suffer trouble as an evildoer,
even unto bonds, but the word of God is

01:03.280 --> 01:03.980
not bound.

01:04.760 --> 01:10.060
Therefore I endure all things for the
elect's sakes, that they may also obtain

01:10.060 --> 01:13.840
the salvation which is in Christ Jesus
with eternal glory.

01:14.560 --> 01:19.800
It is the faithful saying, for if we be
dead with him, we shall also live with

01:19.800 --> 01:20.000
him.

01:20.460 --> 01:23.280
If we suffer, we shall also reign with
him.

01:23.280 --> 01:26.900
If we deny him, he also will deny us.

01:27.700 --> 01:32.500
If we believe not, yet he abideth
faithful, he cannot deny himself.

01:33.320 --> 01:37.660
Of these things put them in remembrance,
charging them before the Lord,

01:37.920 --> 01:43.200
that they strive not about words to no
profit, but to the subverting of the

01:43.200 --> 01:43.600
hearers.

01:44.760 --> 01:49.960
Study to show thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,

01:49.960 --> 01:55.620
rightly dividing the word of truth,
but shun profane and vain babblings,

01:56.080 --> 02:01.340
for they will increase unto more
ungodliness, and their word will eat as

02:01.340 --> 02:07.320
doth a canker, of whom is Hymenaeus and
Philetus, who concerning the truth have

02:07.320 --> 02:12.500
erred, saying that the resurrection is
past already, and overthrow the faith of

02:12.500 --> 02:12.800
some.

02:13.280 --> 02:17.660
Nevertheless the foundation of God
standeth sure, having this seal,

02:18.190 --> 02:24.160
the Lord knoweth them that are his,
and let every one that nameth the name of

02:24.160 --> 02:26.460
Christ depart from iniquity.

02:27.300 --> 02:31.140
But in a great house there are not only
vessels of gold and of silver,

02:31.660 --> 02:37.200
but also of wood and of earth,
and some to honor and some to dishonor.

02:37.720 --> 02:42.560
If a man therefore purge himself from
these, he shall be a vessel unto honor,

02:43.320 --> 02:48.660
sanctified, and meet for the Master's use,
and prepared unto every good work.

02:49.900 --> 02:54.860
Flee also youthful lusts, but follow
righteousness, faith, charity,

02:55.340 --> 02:59.300
peace, with them that call on the Lord out
of a pure heart.

03:00.280 --> 03:06.100
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid,
knowing that they do gender strifes.

03:06.620 --> 03:10.980
And the servant of the Lord must not
strive, but be gentle unto all men,

03:11.700 --> 03:17.540
apt to teach, patient, in meekness
instructing those that oppose themselves,

03:17.880 --> 03:21.560
if God peradventure will give them
repentance to the acknowledging of the

03:21.560 --> 03:26.160
truth, and that they may recover
themselves out of the snare of the devil,

03:26.520 --> 03:28.780
who are taken captive by him at his will.
