May grace, mercy and peace + be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. +001:003 I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience--as my + forefathers did--that night and day I unceasingly remember + you in my prayers, +001:004 being always mindful of your tears, and longing to see you + that I may be filled with joy. +001:005 For I recall the sincere faith which is in your heart-- + a faith which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and then + in your mother Eunice, and, I am fully convinced, now dwells + in you also. +001:006 For this reason let me remind you to rekindle God's gift + which is yours through the laying on of my hands. +001:007 For the Spirit which God has given us is not a spirit of cowardice, + but one of power and of love and of sound judgement. +001:008 Do not be ashamed then to bear witness for our Lord and for me + His prisoner; but rather share suffering with me in the service + of the Good News, strengthened by the power of God. +001:009 For He saved us and called us with a holy call, not in accordance + with our desserts, but in accordance with His own purpose + and the free grace which He bestowed on us in Christ Jesus + before the commencement of the Ages, +001:010 but which has now been plainly revealed through the Appearing + of our Saviour, Christ Jesus. He has put an end to death and has + brought Life and Immortality to light through the Good News, +001:011 of which I have been appointed a preacher, Apostle and teacher, + to the Gentiles. +001:012 That indeed is the reason why I suffer as I do. + But I am not ashamed, for I know in whom my trust reposes, + and I am confident that He has it in His power to keep what I + have entrusted to Him safe until that day. +001:013 Provide yourself with an outline of the sound teaching which you + have heard from my lips, and be true to the faith and love + which are in Christ Jesus. +001:014 That precious treasure which is in your charge, guard through + the Holy Spirit who has His home in our hearts. +001:015 Of this you are aware, that all the Christians in Roman Asia + have deserted me: and among them Phygelus and Hermogenes. +001:016 May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; + for many a time he cheered me and he was not ashamed of my chain. +001:017 Nay, when he was here in Rome, he took great pains to inquire + where I was living, and at last he found me. +001:018 (The Lord grant that he may obtain mercy at His hands on that day!) + And you yourself well know all the services which he rendered + me in Ephesus. +002:001 You then, my child, must be strong in the grace that is + in Christ Jesus. +002:002 All that you have been taught by me in the hearing of many witnesses, + you must hand on to trusty men who shall themselves, in turn, + be competent to instruct others also. +002:003 As a good soldier of Christ Jesus accept your share of suffering. +002:004 Every one who serves as a soldier keeps himself from becoming + entangled in the world's business--so that he may satisfy + the officer who enlisted him. +002:005 And if any one takes part in an athletic contest, he gets + no prize unless he obeys the rules. +002:006 The harvestman who labours in the field must be the first to get + a share of the crop. +002:007 Mark well what I am saying: the Lord will give you + discernment in everything. +002:008 Never forget that Jesus Christ has risen from among the dead + and is a descendant of David, as is declared in the Good News + which I preach. +002:009 For preaching the Good News I suffer, and am even put in chains, + as if I were a criminal: yet the word of God is not imprisoned. +002:010 For this reason I endure all things for the sake of God's own people; + so that they also may obtain salvation--even the salvation + which is in Christ Jesus--and with it eternal glory. +002:011 Faithful is the saying: "If we died with Him, we shall + also live with Him; +002:012 "If we patiently endure pain, we shall also share His Kingship; "If we + disown Him, He will also disown us; +002:013 "And even if *our* faith fails, He remains true--He cannot + prove false to Himself." +002:014 Bring all this to men's remembrances, solemnly charging + them in the presence of God not to waste time in wrangling + about mere words, a course which is altogether unprofitable + and tends only to the ruin of the hearers. +002:015 Earnestly seek to commend yourself to God as a servant who, + because of his straightforward dealing with the word of truth, + has no reason to feel any shame. +002:016 But from irreligious and frivolous talk hold aloof, for those + who indulge in it will proceed from bad to worse in impiety, +002:017 and their teaching will spread like a running sore. + Hymenaeus and Philetus are men of that stamp. +002:018 In the matter of the truth they have gone astray, saying that + the Resurrection is already past, and so they are overthrowing + the faith of some. +002:019 Yet God's solid foundation stands unmoved, bearing this inscription, + "The Lord knows those who really belong to Him." + And this also, "Let every one who names the Name of the Lord + renounce all wickedness." +002:020 Now in a great house there are not only articles of gold + and silver, but also others of wood and of earthenware; + and some are for specially honourable, and others for common use. +002:021 If therefore a man keeps himself clear of these latter, he himself + will be for specially honourable use, consecrated, fit for + the Master's service, and fully equipped for every good work. +002:022 Keep a strong curb, however, on your youthful cravings; + and strive for integrity, good faith, love, peace, in company + with all who pray to the Lord with pure hearts. +002:023 But avoid foolish discussions with ignorant men, knowing--as you do-- + that these lead to quarrels; +002:024 and a bondservant of the Lord must not quarrel, but must + be inoffensive towards all men, a skilful teacher, + and patient under wrongs. +002:025 He must speak in a gentle tone when correcting the errors + of opponents, in the hope that God will at last give them repentance, + for them to come to a full knowledge of the truth +002:026 and recover sober-mindedness and freedom from the Devil's snare, + though they are now entrapped by him to do his will. +003:001 But of this be assured: in the last days grievous times + will set in. +003:002 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, + boastful, haughty, profane. They will be disobedient + to parents, thankless, irreligious, +003:003 destitute of natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers. + They will have no self-control, but will be brutal, + opposed to goodness, +003:004 treacherous, headstrong, self-important. They will love pleasure + instead of loving God, +003:005 and will keep up a make-believe of piety and yet live in defiance + of its power. Turn away from people of this sort. +003:006 Among them are included the men who make their way into + private houses and carry off weak women as their prisoners-- + women who, weighed down by the burden of their sins, are led + by ever-changing caprice, +003:007 and are always learning something new, and yet are never able + to arrive at real knowledge of the truth. +003:008 And just as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also these + false teachers withstand the truth--being, as they are, + men of debased intellects, and of no real worth so far + as faith is concerned. +003:009 But they will have no further success; for their folly will + be as clearly manifest to all men, as that of the opponents + of Moses came to be. +003:010 But you have intimately known my teaching, life, aims, faith, + patience, love, resignation, +003:011 and the persecutions and sufferings which I have endured; + the things which happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra. + You know the persecutions I endured, and how the Lord delivered + me out of them all. +003:012 And indeed every one who is determined to live a godly life + as a follower of Christ Jesus will be persecuted. +003:013 But bad men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, + misleading and being misled. +003:014 But you must cling to the things which you have learnt and have + been taught to believe, knowing who your teachers were, +003:015 and that from infancy you have known the sacred writings + which are able to make you wise to obtain salvation through + faith in Christ Jesus. +003:016 Every Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, + for convincing, for correction of error, and for instruction + in right doing; +003:017 so that the man of God may himself be complete and may be + perfectly equipped for every good work. +004:001 I solemnly implore you, in the presence of God and of + Christ Jesus who is about to judge the living and the dead, + and by His Appearing and His Kingship: +004:002 proclaim God's message, be zealous in season and out of season; + convince, rebuke, encourage, with the utmost patience + as a teacher. +004:003 For a time is coming when they will not tolerate wholesome + instruction, but, wanting to have their ears tickled, they will + find a multitude of teachers to satisfy their own fancies; +004:004 and will turn away from listening to the truth and will turn + aside to fables. +004:005 But as for you, you must exercise habitual self-control, + and not live a self-indulgent life, but do the duty of an + evangelist and fully discharge the obligations of your office. +004:006 I for my part am like a drink-offering which is already being + poured out; and the time for my departure is now close at hand. +004:007 I have gone through the glorious contest; I have run the race; + I have guarded the faith. +004:008 From this time onward there is reserved for me the crown + of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, + will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also + to all who love the thought of His Appearing. +004:009 Make an effort to come to me speedily. +004:010 For Demas has deserted me--loving, as he does, the present age-- + and has gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, + and Titus to Dalmatia. +004:011 Luke is the only friend I now have with me. Call for Mark + on your way and bring him with you, for he is a great help + to me in my ministry. +004:012 Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. +004:013 When you come, bring with you the cloak which I left + behind at Troas at the house of Carpus, and the books, + but especially the parchments. +004:014 Alexander the metal-worker showed bitter hostility towards me: + the Lord will requite him according to his doings. +004:015 You also should beware of him; for he has violently + opposed our preaching. +004:016 At my first defence I had no one at my side, but all deserted me. + May it not be laid to their charge. +004:017 The Lord, however, stood by me and filled me with inward strength, + that through me the Message might be fully proclaimed + and that all the Gentiles might hear it; and I was rescued + from the lion's jaws. +004:018 The Lord will deliver me from every cruel attack and will + keep me safe in preparation for His heavenly Kingdom. + To Him be the glory until the Ages of the Ages! Amen. +004:019 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. +004:020 Erastus stayed in Corinth; Trophimus I left behind me + at Miletus, ill. +004:021 Make an effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, + and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren. +004:022 The Lord be with your spirit.
