2 Timoteo 2
Biblia del Jubileo
2 ¶ Pues tú, hijo mío, esfuérzate en la gracia que es en Cristo Jesús.
2 Y lo que has oído de mí entre muchos testigos, esto encarga a hombres fieles que serán idóneos para enseñar también a otros.
3 Y tú pues, trabaja como fiel soldado de Jesús el Cristo.
4 Ninguno que milita se enreda en los negocios de esta vida por agradar a aquel que lo tomó por soldado.
5 Y aun también el que compete en juegos públicos, no es coronado si no hubiere competido legítimamente.
6 El labrador, para recibir los frutos, es necesario que trabaje primero.
7 Entiende lo que digo; que el Señor te dará entendimiento en todo.
8 ¶ Acuérdate que Jesús el Cristo, resucitó de los muertos, el cual fue de la simiente de David, conforme a mi Evangelio;
9 en el que sufro trabajo, hasta las prisiones a modo de malhechor; mas la palabra de Dios no está presa.
10 Por tanto, todo lo sufro por amor de los escogidos, para que ellos también consigan la salud que es en el Cristo Jesús con gloria eterna.
11 Es palabra fiel: Que si somos muertos con él, también viviremos con él;
12 si sufrimos, también reinaremos con él; si le negáremos, él también nos negará;
13 si fuéremos infieles, él permanece fiel; no se puede negar a sí mismo.
14 ¶ Esto aconseja, protestando delante del Señor. No tengas contienda en palabras, que para nada aprovecha, antes trastorna a los oyentes.
15 Procura con diligencia presentarte a Dios aprobado, como obrero que no tiene de qué avergonzarse, que traza bien la palabra de la verdad.
16 Mas evita profanas y vanas palabrerías; porque muy adelante irán en la impiedad.
17 Y la palabra de ellos carcomerá como gangrena; de los cuales son Himeneo y Fileto;
18 que se han descaminado de la verdad, diciendo que la resurrección es ya hecha, y trastornaron la fe de algunos.
19 ¶ Pero el fundamento de Dios está firme, el cual tiene este sello: Conoce el Señor a los que son suyos; y: Apártese de iniquidad todo aquel que invoca el nombre de Cristo.
20 Mas en una casa grande, no solamente hay vasos de oro y de plata, sino también de madera y de barro; y asimismo unos para honra, y otros para deshonra.
21 Así que, el que se limpiare de estas cosas, será vaso para honra, santificado, y útil para los usos del Señor, y aparejado para toda buena obra.
22 ¶ Huye también de los deseos juveniles; y sigue la justicia, la fe, la caridad, la paz, con los que invocan al Señor de limpio corazón.
23 Pero las cuestiones locas y sin sabiduría, desecha, sabiendo que engendran contiendas.
24 Que el esclavo del Señor no debe ser litigioso, sino manso para con todos, apto para enseñar, sufrido;
25 que con mansedumbre enseña a los que se resisten, si por ventura Dios les dé que se arrepientan y conozcan la verdad,
26 Y se conviertan del lazo del diablo, en que están cautivos, para hacer su voluntad.

A Good Soldier of Christ Jesus
2 You then, (A)my child, (B)be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, 2 and (C)what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses (D)entrust to faithful men,[a] (E)who will be able to teach others also. 3 (F)Share in suffering as (G)a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier (H)gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. 5 (I)An athlete is not (J)crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6 It is (K)the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. 7 Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, (L)risen from the dead, the (M)offspring of David, (N)as preached in my gospel, 9 (O)for which I am suffering, (P)bound with chains as a criminal. But (Q)the word of God is not bound! 10 Therefore (R)I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain (S)the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with (T)eternal glory. 11 The saying is (U)trustworthy, for:
(V)If we have died with him, we will also (W)live with him;
12 (X)if we endure, we will also reign with him;
(Y)if we deny him, he also will deny us;
13 (Z)if we are faithless, (AA)he remains faithful—
for (AB)he cannot deny himself.
A Worker Approved by God
14 Remind them of these things, and (AC)charge them before God[b] (AD)not to quarrel about words, (AE)which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,[c] a worker (AF)who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. 16 But (AG)avoid (AH)irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness, 17 and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are (AI)Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18 who have swerved from the truth, (AJ)saying that the resurrection has already happened. They are upsetting the faith of some. 19 But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: (AK)“The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let everyone (AL)who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.”
20 Now in (AM)a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, (AN)some for honorable use, some for dishonorable. 21 Therefore, (AO)if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable,[d] he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, (AP)ready for every good work.
22 So (AQ)flee (AR)youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with (AS)those who call on the Lord (AT)from a pure heart. 23 Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant (AU)controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. 24 And (AV)the Lord's servant[e] must not be quarrelsome but (AW)kind to everyone, (AX)able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents (AY)with gentleness. God (AZ)may perhaps grant them repentance (BA)leading to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from (BB)the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.

The Appeal Renewed
2 You then, my son,(A) be strong(B) in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things you have heard me say(C) in the presence of many witnesses(D) entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 3 Join with me in suffering,(E) like a good soldier(F) of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. 5 Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown(G) except by competing according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops.(H) 7 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead,(I) descended from David.(J) This is my gospel,(K) 9 for which I am suffering(L) even to the point of being chained(M) like a criminal. But God’s word(N) is not chained. 10 Therefore I endure everything(O) for the sake of the elect,(P) that they too may obtain the salvation(Q) that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.(R)
11 Here is a trustworthy saying:(S)
If we died with him,
we will also live with him;(T)
12 if we endure,
we will also reign with him.(U)
If we disown him,
he will also disown us;(V)
13 if we are faithless,
he remains faithful,(W)
for he cannot disown himself.
Dealing With False Teachers
14 Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words;(X) it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.(Y) 16 Avoid godless chatter,(Z) because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17 Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus(AA) and Philetus, 18 who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place,(AB) and they destroy the faith of some.(AC) 19 Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm,(AD) sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,”(AE) and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord(AF) must turn away from wickedness.”
20 In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use.(AG) 21 Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.(AH)
22 Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love(AI) and peace, along with those who call on the Lord(AJ) out of a pure heart.(AK) 23 Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.(AL) 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.(AM) 25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth,(AN) 26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil,(AO) who has taken them captive to do his will.
