CHAP. II.
1 He is exhorted againe to constancie and perseuerance, and to doe the duetie of a faithfull seruant of the Lord in diuiding the word aright, and staying prophane and vaine bablings. 17 Of Hymeneus and Philetus. 19 The foundation of the Lord is sure. 22 Hee is taught whereof to beware, and what to follow after, and in what sort the seruant of the Lord ought to behaue himselfe.
1 Thou therefore, my sonne, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Iesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of mee among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithfull men, who shall be able to teach others also.2
3 Thou therefore indure hardnesse, as a good souldier of Iesus Christ.
5 And if a man also striue for masteries, yet is hee not crowned except hee striue lawfully.
6 The husbandman that laboureth, must bee first partaker of the fruites.6
7 Consider what I say, and the Lord giue thee vnderstanding in all things.
8 Remember that Iesus Christ of the seede of Dauid, was raised from the dead, according to my Gospel:
9 Wherein I suffer trouble as an euill doer, euen vnto bonds: but the word of God is not bound.
11 It is a faithfull saying: for if we bee dead with him, wee shall also liue with him.
12 If we suffer, we shall also reigne with him: if wee denie him, hee also will denie vs.
13 If we beleeue not, yet he abideth faithfull, he cannot denie himselfe.
16 But shun profane and vaine bablings, for they will increase vnto more vngodlinesse.
17 And their word will eate as doth a canker: of whom is Hymeneus and Philetus.17
19 Neuerthelesse the foundation of God standeth sure, hauing the seale, the Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let euery one that nameth the Name of Christ, depart from iniquitie.19
23 But foolish and vnlearned questions auoid, knowing that they doe gender strifes.
24 And the seruant of the Lord must not striue: but bee gentle vnto all men, apt to teach, patient,24
26 And that they may recouer themselues out of the snare of the deuill, who are taken captiue by him at his will.26
