Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

2 Timothy 2

1 He is exhorted again to constancy and perseverance, and to do the duty of a faithful servant of the Lord in dividing the Word aright, and staying profane and vain babblings. 17 Of Hymeneus and Philetus. 19 The foundation of the Lord is sure. 22 He is taught whereof to beware, and what to follow after, and in what sort the servant of the Lord ought to behave himself.

 2:1 ¶ Thou 4771 therefore, 3767 my 3450 son, 5043 be strong 1743 z5744 in 1722 the x3588 grace 5485 that x3588 is in 1722 Christ 5547 Jesus. 2424

 2:2 And 2532 the things y3739 that x3739 thou hast heard 191 z5656 of 3844 me 1700 among 1223 many 4183 witnesses, 3144 the same 5023 commit x3908 thou y3908 z5639 to faithful 4103 men, 444 who 3748 shall be 2071 z5704 able 2425 to teach 1321 z5658 others 2087 also. 2532

 2:3 Thou 4771 therefore 3767 endure hardness, 2553 z5657 as 5613 a good 2570 soldier 4757 of Jesus 2424 Christ. 5547

 2:4 No man 3762 that warreth 4754 z5734 entangleth himself y1707 z5743 with x1707 the x3588 affairs 4230 of [this] life; 979 that 2443 he may please 700 z5661 him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 4758 z5660

 2:5 And 1161 if 1437 a man 5100 also 2532 strive y118 z5725 for masteries, x118 [yet] is he y4737 z0 not 3756 crowned, 4737 z5743 except 3362 he strive 118 z5661 lawfully. 3545

 2:6 The husbandman 1092 that laboureth 2872 z5723 must x1163 be y1163 z5748 first y4413 partaker 3335 z5721 x4413 of the x3588 fruits. 2590

 2:7 Consider 3539 z5720 what 3739 I say; 3004 z5719 and 1063 the x3588 Lord 2962 give 1325 z5630 thee 4671 understanding 4907 in 1722 all things. 3956

 2:8 Remember 3421 z5720 that Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 of 1537 the seed 4690 of David 1138 was raised 1453 z5772 from 1537 the dead 3498 according x2596 to y2596 my 3450 gospel: 2098

 2:9 Wherein 1722 3739 I suffer trouble, 2553 z5719 as 5613 an evil doer, 2557 [even] unto 3360 bonds; 1199 but 235 the x3588 word 3056 of God 2316 is y1210 z0 not 3756 bound. 1210 z5769

 2:10 Therefore 1223 5124 I endure 5278 z5719 all things 3956 for y1588 z0 the elect's y1588 sakes, 1223 x3588 x1588 that 2443 they 846 may y5177 z0 also 2532 obtain 5177 z5632 the salvation 4991 which 3588 is in 1722 Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 with 3326 eternal 166 glory. 1391

 2:11 [It is] a faithful 4103 saying: 3056 For 1063 if 1487 we be dead with 4880 z5627 [him], we shall y4800 z0 also 2532 live with 4800 z5692 [him]:

 2:12 If 1487 we suffer, 5278 z5719 we shall y4821 z0 also 2532 reign with 4821 z5692 [him]: if 1487 we deny 720 z5736 [him], he also 2548 will deny 720 z5695 us: 2248

 2:13 If 1487 we believe not, 569 z5719 [yet] he 1565 abideth 3306 z5719 faithful: 4103 he cannot 3756 1410 z5736 deny 720 z5664 himself. 1438

 2:14 Of these things 5023 put [them] in remembrance, 5279 z5720 charging 1263 z5740 [them] before 1799 the x3588 Lord 2962 that they strive y3054 z0 not y3361 about words 3054 z5721 x3361 to y1519 no y3762 profit, 5539 x1519 x3762 [but] to 1909 the subverting 2692 of the x3588 hearers. 191 z5723

 2:15 Study 4704 z5657 to shew 3936 z5658 thyself 4572 approved 1384 unto God, 2316 a workman 2040 that needeth not to be ashamed, 422 rightly dividing 3718 z5723 the x3588 word 3056 of truth. 225

 2:16 But 1161 shun 4026 z5732 profane 952 [and] vain babblings: 2757 for 1063 they will increase 4298 z5692 unto 1909 more 4119 ungodliness. 763

 2:17 And 2532 their 846 word 3056 will eat 2192 3542 z5692 as 5613 doth a canker: 1044 of whom 3739 is 2076 z5748 Hymenaeus 5211 and 2532 Philetus; 5372

 2:18 Who 3748 concerning 4012 the x3588 truth 225 have erred, 795 z5656 saying 3004 z5723 that the x3588 resurrection 386 is past 1096 z5755 already; 2235 and 2532 overthrow 396 z5719 the x3588 faith 4102 of some. 5100

 2:19 Nevertheless 3305 the foundation 2310 of God 2316 standeth 2476 z5758 sure, 4731 having 2192 z5723 this 5026 seal, 4973 The Lord 2962 knoweth 1097 z5627 them that are 5607 z5752 his. y846 x848 And, 2532 Let y868 z0 every one 3956 that nameth 3687 z5723 the x3588 name 3686 of Christ 5547 depart 868 z5628 from 575 iniquity. 93

 2:20 But 1161 in 1722 a great 3173 house 3614 there are 2076 z5748 not 3756 only 3440 vessels 4632 of gold 5552 and 2532 of silver, 693 but 235 also 2532 of wood 3585 and 2532 of earth; 3749 and 2532 some 3739 3303 to 1519 honour, 5092 and 1161 some 3739 to 1519 dishonour. 819

 2:21 If 1437 a man 5100 therefore 3767 purge 1571 z5661 himself 1438 from 575 these, 5130 he shall be 2071 z5704 a vessel 4632 unto 1519 honour, 5092 sanctified, 37 z5772 and 2532 meet y2173 for the master's use, 1203 x2173 x3588 [and] prepared 2090 z5772 unto 1519 every 3956 good 18 work. 2041

 2:22 Flee 5343 z5720 also 1161 youthful 3512 lusts: 1939 but 1161 follow 1377 z5720 righteousness, 1343 faith, 4102 charity, 26 peace, 1515 with 3326 them that call on 1941 z5734 the x3588 Lord 2962 out of 1537 a pure 2513 heart. 2588

 2:23 But 1161 foolish 3474 and 2532 unlearned 521 questions 2214 avoid, 3868 z5737 knowing 1492 z5761 that 3754 they do gender 1080 z5719 strifes. 3163

 2:24 And 1161 the servant 1401 of the Lord 2962 must 1163 z5748 not 3756 strive; 3164 z5738 but 235 be 1511 z5750 gentle 2261 unto 4314 all 3956 [men], apt to teach, 1317 patient, 420

 2:25 In 1722 meekness 4236 instructing 3811 z5723 those that oppose themselves; 475 z5734 if y3379 z0 God y2316 peradventure 3379 x2316 will give 1325 z5632 them 846 repentance 3341 to 1519 the acknowledging 1922 of the truth; 225

 2:26 And 2532 [that] they may recover themselves 366 z5661 out of 1537 the x3588 snare 3803 of the x3588 devil, 1228 who are taken captive 2221 z5772 by 5259 him 846 at 1519 his 1565 will. 2307
