The next file is: 2TIMOTHY    
1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,
 according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
1:2 To Timothy, [my] dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, [and]
 peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
1:3 I thank God, whom I serve from [my] forefathers with pure
 conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in
 my prayers night and day;
1:4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears,
 that I may be filled with joy;
1:5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in
 thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother
 Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
1:6 For which cause I put thee in remembrance, that thou stir up
 the gift of God, which is in thee by the imposition of my
 hands.
1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power,
 and of love, and of a sound mind.
1:8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord,
 nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions
 of the gospel according to the power of God;
1:9 Who hath saved us, and called [us] with a holy calling, not
 according to our works, but according to his own purpose and
 grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the world
 began;
1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior
 Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life
 and immortality to light through the gospel:
1:11 To which I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a
 teacher of the Gentiles.
1:12 For which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I
 am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am
 persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed
 to him against that day.
1:13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard
 from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1:14 That good thing which was committed to thee keep by the
 Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us.
1:15 This thou knowest, that all they who are in Asia are turned
 away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
1:16 The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus; for he
 often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
1:17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently,
 and found [me].
1:18 The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord
 in that day: and in how many things he ministered to me at
 Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in
 Christ Jesus.
2:2 And the things that thou hast heard from me among many
 witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be
 able to teach others also.
2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus
 Christ.
2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of
 [this] life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a
 soldier.
2:5 And if a man also striveth for masteries, [yet] is he not
 crowned, except he striveth lawfully.
2:6 The husbandman that laboreth must be first partaker of the
 fruits.
2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in
 all things.
2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised
 from the dead according to my gospel:
2:9 In which I suffer trouble, as an evil-doer, [even] to bonds;
 but the word of God is not bound.
2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect,
 that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ
 Jesus with eternal glory.
2:11 [It is] a faithful saying: For if we are dead with [him],
 we shall also live with [him]:
2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny
 [him], he also will deny us:
2:13 If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he cannot
 deny himself.
2:14 Of these things put [them] in remembrance, charging [them]
 before the Lord that they contend not about words to no profit,
 [but] to the subverting of the hearers.
2:15 Study to show thyself approved to God, a workman that
 needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase
 to more ungodliness.
2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is
 Hymeneus and Philetus;
2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the
 resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth firm, having
 this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every
 one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and
 of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor,
 and some to dishonor.
2:21 If a man therefore will cleanse himself from these, he will
 be a vessel to honor, sanctified and meet for the master's use,
 [and] prepared to every good work.
2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith,
 charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure
 heart.
2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that
 they gender contentions.
2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not contend; but be gentle
 to all [men], apt to teach, patient,
2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if
 God perhaps will give them repentance to the acknowledging of
 the truth:
2:26 And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare of
 the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times will
 come.
3:2 For men will be lovers of their own selves, covetous,
 boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
 unthankful, unholy,
3:3 Without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers,
 incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
3:4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than
 lovers of God;
3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying its power: from such
 turn away.
3:6 For of this sort are they who creep into houses, and lead
 captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers
 lusts;
3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of
 the truth.
3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also
 resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning
 the faith.
3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly will be
 manifest to all [men], as theirs also was.
3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life,
 purpose, faith, long-suffering, charity, patience,
3:11 Persecutions, afflictions which came to me at Antioch, at
 Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of
 [them] all the Lord delivered me.
3:12 And all indeed that will live godly in Christ Jesus will
 suffer persecution.
3:13 But evil men and seducers will become worse and worse,
 deceiving, and being deceived.
3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and
 hast been assured of, knowing from whom thou hast learned
 [them];
3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the sacred
 scriptures, which are able to make thee wise to salvation
 through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is]
 profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
 instruction in righteousness:
3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished to
 all good works.
4:1 I charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus
 Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing
 and his kingdom;
4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;
 reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.
4:3 For the time will come, when they will not endure sound
 doctrine; but after their own lusts will they multiply to
 themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4:4 And they will turn away [their] ears from the truth, and
 will be turned to fables.
4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the
 work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my
 departure is at hand.
4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I
 have kept the faith:
4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness,
 which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me at that day:
 and not to me only, but to all them also that love his
 appearing.
4:9 Do thy diligence to come shortly to me:
4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present
 world, and hath departed to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia,
 Titus to Dalmatia.
4:11 Luke only is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee:
 for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
4:12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
4:13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou
 comest, bring [with thee], and the books, [but] especially the
 parchments.
4:14 Alexander the copper-smith did me much evil: the Lord
 reward him according to his works:
4:15 Of whom be thou aware also; for he hath greatly withstood
 our words.
4:16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all [men]
 forsook me: [I pray God] that it may not be laid to their
 charge.
4:17 Notwithstanding, the Lord stood with me, and strengthened
 me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and [that]
 all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the
 mouth of the lion.
4:18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will
 preserve [me] to his heavenly kingdom; to whom [be] glory for
 ever and ever. Amen.
4:19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
4:20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus I have left at
 Miletum sick.
4:21 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth
 thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
4:22 The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with thy spirit. Grace [be] with
 you. Amen.
