2 Timothy 2
New King James Version
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.

2 Timoteo 2
Ang Biblia (1978)
2 Ikaw nga, (A)anak ko, (B)magpakalakas ka sa biyayang nasa kay Cristo Jesus.
2 At (C)ang mga bagay na iyong narinig sa akin sa gitna ng maraming saksi, (D)ay siya mo ring ipagkatiwala sa mga taong tapat, na makapagtuturo naman sa mga iba.
3 (E)Makipagtiis ka sa akin ng mga kahirapan, na (F)gaya ng mabuting kawal ni Cristo Jesus.
4 Sinomang kawal na nasa pagkakawal ay hindi nahalubilo sa mga bagay ng buhay na ito; upang siya'y kalugdan niyaong nagtala sa pagkakawal.
5 At kung ang sinoman ay (G)makikipaglaban naman sa mga laro, ay hindi (H)pinuputungan maliban na kung makipaglabang matuwid.
6 Ang magsasaka na nagpapagal (I)ay siyang kailangang unang makabahagi sa mga bunga.
7 Isipin mo ang sinasabi ko; sapagka't bibigyan ka ng Panginoon ng pagkaunawa sa lahat ng mga bagay.
8 Alalahanin mo si Jesucristo na (J)muling nabuhay sa mga patay, sa binhi ni David, ayon sa aking evangelio:
9 Na siyang pinagtitiisan ko ng kahirapan (K)sa mga tanikala, na tulad sa tampalasan; (L)nguni't ang salita ng Dios ay hindi natatanikalaan.
10 Kaya aking tinitiis ang lahat ng mga bagay (M)dahil sa (N)mga hinirang, upang kamtan naman nila ang pagkaligtas na nasa kay Cristo Jesus na may kaluwalhatiang walang hanggan.
11 (O)Tapat ang pasabi: (P)Sapagka't kung tayo'y nangamatay na kalakip niya, ay mangabubuhay naman tayong kasama niya:
12 (Q)Kung tayo'y mangagtiis, ay (R)mangaghahari naman tayong kasama niya: (S)kung ating ikaila siya, ay ikakaila naman niya tayo:
13 Kung tayo'y hindi mga tapat, (T)siya'y nananatiling tapat; sapagka't (U)hindi makapagkakaila sa kaniyang sarili.
14 Ipaalaala mo sa kanila ang mga bagay na ito, na sila'y pagbilinan sa paningin ng Panginoon, (V)na sila'y huwag makipagtalo tungkol sa mga salitaan na hindi mapapakinabangan, sa ikapapahamak ng mga nakikinig.
15 Pagsikapan mong humarap na subok sa Dios, manggagawang walang anomang ikahihiya, na gumagamit na matuwid ng salita ng katotohanan.
16 Datapuwa't (W)ilagan mo ang mga usapang walang kabuluhan: sapagka't sila'y lalong magpapatuloy sa kasamaan,
17 At ang kanilang salita ay kakalat na gaya ng ganggrena: na sa mga ito ay si (X)Himeneo at si Fileto;
18 Na mga taong tungkol sa katotohanan ay nangasinsay, na sinasabing ang pagkabuhay na maguli ay nakaraan na, at ginugulo ang pananampalataya ng iba.
19 Gayon ma'y ang matibay na pinagsasaligan ng Dios ay nananatili na may tatak nito, Nakikilala ng Panginoon ang mga kaniya: at, (Y)Lumayo sa kalikuan ang bawa't isa na sumasambitla ng pangalan ng Panginoon.
20 Datapuwa't sa isang malaking bahay ay (Z)hindi lamang may mga sisidlang ginto at pilak, kundi mayroon din namang kahoy at (AA)lupa; (AB)at ang iba'y sa ikapupuri, at ang iba'y sa ikasisirang-puri.
21 Kung ang sinoman nga ay malinis sa alin man sa mga ito, ay magiging sisidlang ikapupuri, pinakabanal, marapat gamitin ng mayari, nahahanda sa lahat ng gawang mabuti.
22 Datapuwa't layuan mo ang masasamang pita ng kabinataan, at (AC)sundin mo ang kabanalan, ang pananampalataya, ang pagibig, ang kapayapaan, kasama ng mga (AD)nagsisitawag sa Panginoon mula sa pusong malinis.
23 Nguni't tanggihan mo ang mga usapang (AE)walang kabuluhan at hangal, yamang nalalaman mo na namumunga ng mga pagtatalo.
24 At (AF)ang alipin ng Panginoon ay hindi nararapat na makipagtalo, kundi maamo sa lahat, (AG)sapat na makapagturo, matiisin,
25 Na sawaying may kaamuan ang mga nagsisisalangsang; baka sakaling sila'y pagkalooban ng Dios ng pagsisisi (AH)sa ikaaalam ng katotohanan,
26 At (AI)sila'y makawala sa silo ng diablo, na bumihag sa kanila ayon sa kaniyang kalooban.

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.
