2 Timothy 2:1-13

1. Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of [this] life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5. And if a man also strive for masteries, [yet] is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 6. The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 7. Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 8. Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9. Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, [even] unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. 10. Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11. [It is] a faithful saying: For if we be dead with [him], we shall also live with [him]: 12. If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny [him], he also will deny us: 13. If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
