2 Timothy 2
1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
συ ουν τεκνον μου ενδυναμου εν τη χαριτι τη εν χριστω ιησου
2 The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same things to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
και α ηκουσασ παρ εμου δια πολλων μαρτυρων ταυτα παραθου πιστοισ ανθρωποισ οιτινεσ ικανοι εσονται και ετερουσ διδαξαι
3 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
συ ουν κακοπαθησον ωσ καλοσ στρατιωτησ ιησου χριστου
4 No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
ουδεισ στρατευομενοσ εμπλεκεται ταισ του βιου πραγματειαισ ινα τω στρατολογησαντι αρεση
5 Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
εαν δε και αθλη τισ ου στεφανουται εαν μη νομιμωσ αθληση
6 The farmer who labors must be the first to get a share of the crops.
τον κοπιωντα γεωργον δει πρωτον των καρπων μεταλαμβανειν
7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
νοει α λεγω δωη γαρ σοι ο κυριοσ συνεσιν εν πασιν
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the offspring of David, according to my Good News,
μνημονευε ιησουν χριστον εγηγερμενον εκ νεκρων εκ σπερματοσ δαυιδ κατα το ευαγγελιον μου
9 in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.
εν ω κακοπαθω μεχρι δεσμων ωσ κακουργοσ αλλ ο λογοσ του θεου ου δεδεται
10 Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (aiōnios g166)
δια τουτο παντα υπομενω δια τουσ εκλεκτουσ ινα και αυτοι σωτηριασ τυχωσιν τησ εν χριστω ιησου μετα δοξησ αιωνιου (aiōnios g166)
11 This saying is trustworthy: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
πιστοσ ο λογοσ ει γαρ συναπεθανομεν και συζησομεν
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
ει υπομενομεν και συμβασιλευσομεν ει αρνουμεθα κακεινοσ αρνησεται ημασ
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can’t deny himself.”
ει απιστουμεν εκεινοσ πιστοσ μενει αρνησασθαι εαυτον ου δυναται
14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord that they don’t argue about words to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
ταυτα υπομιμνησκε διαμαρτυρομενοσ ενωπιον του κυριου μη λογομαχειν εισ ουδεν χρησιμον επι καταστροφη των ακουοντων
15 Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.
σπουδασον σεαυτον δοκιμον παραστησαι τω θεω εργατην ανεπαισχυντον ορθοτομουντα τον λογον τησ αληθειασ
16 But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,
τασ δε βεβηλουσ κενοφωνιασ περιιστασο επι πλειον γαρ προκοψουσιν ασεβειασ
17 and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:
και ο λογοσ αυτων ωσ γαγγραινα νομην εξει ων εστιν υμεναιοσ και φιλητοσ
18 men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
οιτινεσ περι την αληθειαν ηστοχησαν λεγοντεσ την αναστασιν ηδη γεγονεναι και ανατρεπουσιν την τινων πιστιν
19 However, God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”
ο μεντοι στερεοσ θεμελιοσ του θεου εστηκεν εχων την σφραγιδα ταυτην εγνω κυριοσ τουσ οντασ αυτου και αποστητω απο αδικιασ πασ ο ονομαζων το ονομα κυριου
20 Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor and some for dishonor.
εν μεγαλη δε οικια ουκ εστιν μονον σκευη χρυσα και αργυρα αλλα και ξυλινα και οστρακινα και α μεν εισ τιμην α δε εισ ατιμιαν
21 If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.
εαν ουν τισ εκκαθαρη εαυτον απο τουτων εσται σκευοσ εισ τιμην ηγιασμενον και ευχρηστον τω δεσποτη εισ παν εργον αγαθον ητοιμασμενον
22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
τασ δε νεωτερικασ επιθυμιασ φευγε διωκε δε δικαιοσυνην πιστιν αγαπην ειρηνην μετα των επικαλουμενων τον κυριον εκ καθαρασ καρδιασ
23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
τασ δε μωρασ και απαιδευτουσ ζητησεισ παραιτου ειδωσ οτι γεννωσιν μαχασ
24 The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,
δουλον δε κυριου ου δει μαχεσθαι αλλ ηπιον ειναι προσ παντασ διδακτικον ανεξικακον
25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
εν πραοτητι παιδευοντα τουσ αντιδιατιθεμενουσ μηποτε δω αυτοισ ο θεοσ μετανοιαν εισ επιγνωσιν αληθειασ
26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
και ανανηψωσιν εκ τησ του διαβολου παγιδοσ εζωγρημενοι υπ αυτου εισ το εκεινου θελημα
