2 Timothy 2:1-13

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

1 So, my child, draw your strength from the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

2 Take the things you heard me say in front of many other witnesses and pass them on to faithful people who are also capable of teaching others.

3 Accept your share of suffering like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

4 Nobody who serves in the military gets tied up with civilian matters, so that they can please the one who recruited them.

5 Also in the same way, athletes don't win unless they follow the rules.

6 A hardworking farmer should get the first share of the crop.

7 Think about what I'm saying; the Lord will give you understanding about everything.

8 Remember Jesus Christ, who was raised from the dead and descended from David. This is my good news.

9 This is the reason I'm suffering to the point that I'm in prison like a common criminal. But God's word cannot be imprisoned.

10 This is why I endure everything for the sake of those who are chosen by God so that they too may experience salvation in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

11 This saying is reliable: "If we have died together, we will also live together.

12 If we endure, we will also rule together. If we deny him, he will also deny us.

13 If we are disloyal, he stays faithful" because he can't be anything else than what he is.

New International Version NIV

1 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.

3 Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier 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 except by competing according to the rules.

6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops.

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, descended from David. This is my gospel,

9 for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God’s word is not chained.

10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

11 Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him;

12 if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us;

13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.
