The Second Epistle of Paul to Timothy , C hapter 2 . My son , be strong in the grace that is yours in Christ Jesus . You have heard me teach in front of many witnesses . Pass on to people . You can trust the things you've heard me say . Then they will be able to teach others also Like a good soldier of Christ Jesus , join with me in suffering .
A soldier does not take part in things that don't have anything to do with the army . Instead , he tries to please his commanding officer . It is the same for anyone who takes part in a sport . They don't receive the winner's crown unless they play by the rules . The farmer who works hard should be the first to receive a share of the crops .
Think about what I'm saying . The Lord will help you understand what all of it means . Remember Jesus Christ . He came from David's family line . He was raised from the dead . He came from David's family line . He was raised from the dead . That is my good news . I am suffering for it . I have even been put in chains like someone who has committed a crime .
But God's word is not held back by chains . So I put up with everything for the good of God's chosen people . Then they also can be saved . Christ Jesus saves them . He gives them glory that will last forever . Here is a saying you can trust If we died with him , we will also live with him . If we don't give up , we will also rule with him .
If we say we don't know him , he will also say he Keep reminding God's people of these things While God is watching . Warn them not to argue about words that doesn't have any value . It only destroys those who listen . Do your best to please God . Be a worker who doesn't need to be ashamed . Teach the message of truth correctly . Stay away from godless chatter .
Those who take part in it will become more and more ungodly . Their teaching will spread like a deadly sickness . Hymenaeus and Philetus are two of those teachers . They have turned away from the truth . They say that the time when people will rise from the dead has already come . They destroy the faith of some people , but God's solid foundation stands firm .
Here is the message written on it . The Lord knows who his own people are . Also, all who say they believe in the Lord must turn away from evil . In a large house there are things made out of gold and silver , but there are also things made out of wood and clay . Some have special purposes , others have common purposes .
Suppose someone stays away from what is common , then the master will be able to use them for special purposes . They will be made holy . They will be made holy . They will be ready to do any good work . Run away from the evil things that young people long for . Try hard to do what is right . Have faith , love and peace .
Do these things together with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart . Don't have anything to do with arguing . It is dumb and foolish . You know it only leads to fights . Anyone who serves the Lord must not be hard to get along with . Instead , they must be kind to everyone . They must be able to teach .
The one who serves must not hold anything against anyone . The one who serves must not hold anything against anyone . They must gently teach those who are against them . Maybe God will give a change of heart to those who are against you . That will lead them to know the truth . Maybe they will come to their senses . Maybe they will escape the devil's trap .
He has taken them as prisoners to do what he wanted .
