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.

Be a Good Soldier
2 So you, my son, be strong in the loving-favor of Christ Jesus. 2 What you have heard me say in front of many people, you must teach to faithful men. Then they will be able to teach others also. 3 Take your share of suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No soldier fighting in a war can take time to make a living. He must please the one who made him a soldier. 5 Anyone who runs in a race must follow the rules to get the crown. 6 A hard-working farmer should receive first some of what he gathers from the field. 7 Think about these things and the Lord will help you understand them.
8 Remember this! Jesus Christ, Who was born from the early family of David, was raised from the dead! This is the Good News I preach. 9 I suffer much and am in prison as one who has done something very bad. I am in chains, but the Word of God is not chained. 10 I suffer all things so the people that God has chosen can be saved from the punishment of their sin through Jesus Christ. Then they will have God’s shining-greatness that lasts forever. 11 These things are true. If we die with Him, we will live with Him also. 12 If we suffer and stay true to Him, then we will be a leader with Him. If we say we do not know Him, He will say He does not know us. 13 If we have no faith, He will still be faithful for He cannot go against what He is.
Foolish Talk
14 Tell your people about these things again. In the name of the Lord, tell them not to argue over words that are not important. It helps no one and it hurts the faith of those who are listening. 15 Do your best to know that God is pleased with you. Be as a workman who has nothing to be ashamed of. Teach the words of truth in the right way. 16 Do not listen to foolish talk about things that mean nothing. It only leads people farther away from God. 17 Such talk will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are like this. 18 They have turned from the truth. They say the dead have already been raised. The faith of some people has been made weak because of such foolish talk. 19 But the truth of God cannot be changed. It says, “The Lord knows those who are His.” And, “Everyone who says he is a Christian must turn away from sin!”
20 In a big house there are not only things made of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay. Some are of more use than others. Some are used every day. 21 If a man lives a clean life, he will be like a dish made of gold. He will be respected and set apart for good use by the owner of the house.
22 Turn away from the sinful things young people want to do. Go after what is right. Have a desire for faith and love and peace. Do this with those who pray to God from a clean heart. 23 Let me say it again. Have nothing to do with foolish talk and those who want to argue. It can only lead to trouble. 24 A servant owned by God must not make trouble. He must be kind to everyone. He must be able to teach. He must be willing to suffer when hurt for doing good. 25 Be gentle when you try to teach those who are against what you say. God may change their hearts so they will turn to the truth. 26 Then they will know they had been held in a trap by the devil to do what he wanted them to do. But now they are able to get out of it.

Труд и страдание ради Радостной Вести
2 Сын мой, будь силён в благодати, которую имеем в единении с Исой Масихом. 2 То, о чём ты слышал от меня при множестве свидетелей, доверь верным людям, которые способны, в свою очередь, учить других. 3 Прими свою долю страданий, как добрый воин Исы Масиха. 4 Никакой солдат не связывает себя житейскими делами, для него главное угодить своему командиру; 5 и никакой атлет не получит награды, если будет нарушать правила соревнований. 6 Земледелец, который трудится в поле, должен первым получить долю собранного урожая. 7 Подумай о том, что я говорю, и Вечный Повелитель поможет тебе понять всё это.
8 Помни Ису Масиха, Который был потомком царя Давуда и был воскрешён из мёртвых согласно возвещаемой мной Радостной Вести, 9 за которую я страдаю и за которую меня, как преступника, заковали в цепи. Но слово Аллаха заковать в цепи невозможно! 10 Поэтому я терплю всё ради избранных Аллахом, чтобы и им получить спасение вместе с вечной славой. А спасение – в единении с Исой Масихом.
11 Верны слова:
Если мы умерли с Ним,
то с Ним и жить будем.
12 Если терпим с Ним,
то с Ним будем и царствовать.
Если мы откажемся от Него,
то и Он откажется от нас.
13 Если мы не верны Ему,
Он всё равно остаётся верным,
потому что Он не может изменить Самому Себе.
Достойный служитель Аллаха
14 Напоминай там всем об этом. Предупреждай их перед Аллахом, чтобы они не занимались обсуждением бессмысленных вопросов. Это не приносит пользы, а лишь вредит тем, кто слушает. 15 Старайся, чтобы Аллах видел в тебе человека испытанного, работника, которому нечего стыдиться, который правильно передаёт слово истины. 16 Избегай безбожных и пустых разговоров, потому что те, кто этим занимается, отдаляются всё дальше и дальше от Аллаха. 17 Учение таких людей будет распространяться, как гангрена. Среди них уже оказались Гименей и Филит. 18 Они далеко отошли от истины, говоря, что воскресение – это лишь только наше духовное возрождение,[a] и подрывают тем самым в некоторых людях веру. 19 Но твёрдое основание, заложенное Аллахом, непоколебимо. На нём стоит печать с надписью: «Вечный[b] знает Своих»[c] и «Каждый, кто провозглашает имя Вечного, должен отвратиться от зла».
20 Ты знаешь, что в каждом большом доме есть посуда не только из золота и серебра, но также из дерева и глины. Одна посуда имеет почётное назначение, а другая – низкое. 21 Если человек очистит себя от всего низкого, то он будет употреблён, как посуда почётного назначения, освящённая, достойная того, чтобы ей пользовался сам Хозяин, пригодная на любое доброе дело.
22 Избегай всяких порочных желаний, свойственных юности. Стремись к праведности, вере, любви и миру вместе с теми, кто искренне обращается к Вечному Повелителю. 23 Не вмешивайся ни в какие глупые и невежественные споры, ты знаешь, что они приводят только к раздорам. 24 А раб Вечного не должен ссориться. Наоборот, он должен относиться по-доброму ко всем, должен уметь учить и терпеливо сносить зло. 25 Он должен с кротостью наставлять противящихся в надежде на то, что Аллах даст им покаяние, и тогда они узнают истину, 26 одумаются и освободятся из ловушки Иблиса, который пленил их и заставляет исполнять свою волю.

Be Strong in Grace
2 You therefore, (A)my son, (B)be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. 3 You therefore must (C)endure[a] hardship (D)as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 (E)No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. 5 And also (F)if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops. 7 Consider what I say, and [b]may the Lord (G)give you understanding in all things.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ, (H)of the seed of David, (I)was raised from the dead (J)according to my gospel, 9 (K)for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, (L)even to the point of chains; (M)but the word of God is not chained. 10 Therefore (N)I endure all things for the sake of the [c]elect, (O)that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 This is a faithful saying:
For (P)if we died with Him,
We shall also live with Him.
12 (Q)If we endure,
We shall also reign with Him.
(R)If we deny Him,
He also will deny us.
13 If we are faithless,
He remains faithful;
He (S)cannot deny Himself.
Approved and Disapproved Workers
14 Remind them of these things, (T)charging them before the Lord not to [d]strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. 15 (U)Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and [e]idle babblings, for they will [f]increase to more ungodliness. 17 And their message will spread like cancer. (V)Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, 18 who have strayed concerning the truth, (W)saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless (X)the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord (Y)knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of [g]Christ depart from iniquity.”
20 But in a great house there are not only (Z)vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. 21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, [h]sanctified and useful for the Master, (AA)prepared for every good work. 22 (AB)Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. 24 And (AC)a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, (AD)able to teach, (AE)patient, 25 (AF)in humility correcting those who are in opposition, (AG)if God perhaps will grant them repentance, (AH)so that they may know the truth, 26 and that they may come to their senses and (AI)escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
