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.
συγκακοπαθησον ως καλος στρατιωτης χριστου ιησου
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 ο λεγω δωσει 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 αλλα 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 αρνησομεθα κακεινος αρνησεται ημας
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can’t deny himself.”
ει απιστουμεν εκεινος πιστος μενει αρνησασθαι γαρ 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 θεου μη λογομαχειν επ 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 {VAR2: [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 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 αλλα 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 πραυτητι παιδευοντα τους αντιδιατιθεμενους μηποτε δωη 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
