2 Timothy 2:1-12 ▼

1 Thou therefore, my sonne, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Iesus.

2 And what things thou hast heard of me, by many witnesses, ye same deliuer to faithfull men, which shalbe able to teache other also.

3 Thou therefore suffer affliction as a good souldier of Iesus Christ.

4 No man that warreth, entangleth himselfe with the affaires of this life, because he woulde please him that hath chosen him to be a souldier.

5 And if any man also striue for a Masterie, he is not crowned, except he striue as he ought to doe.

6 The husbandman must labour before he receiue the fruites.

7 Consider what I say: and the Lord giue thee vnderstanding in all things:

8 Remember that Iesus Christ, made of the seede of Dauid, was raysed againe from the dead according to my Gospel,

9 Wherein I suffer trouble as an euill doer, euen vnto bondes: but the worde of God is not bounde.

10 Therefore I suffer all things, for the elects sake, that they might also obtaine the saluation which is in Christ Iesus, with eternall glorie.

11 It is a true saying, For if we be dead together with him, we also shall liue together with him.

12 If we suffer, we shall also reigne together with him: if we denie him, he also will denie vs.
