2 Timothy 2:1-13

The Darby Translation DBY

1 Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace which [is] in Christ Jesus.

2 And the things thou hast heard of me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, such as shall be competent to instruct others also.

3 Take thy share in suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

4 No one going as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who has enlisted him as a soldier.

5 And if also any one contend [in the games], he is not crowned unless he contend lawfully.

6 The husbandman must labour before partaking of the fruits.

7 Think of what I say, for the Lord will give thee understanding in all things.

8 Remember Jesus Christ raised from among [the] dead, of [the] seed of David, according to my glad tidings,

9 in which I suffer even unto bonds as an evil-doer: but the word of God is not bound.

10 For this cause I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that *they* also may obtain the salvation which [is] in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

11 The word [is] faithful; for if we have died together with [him], we shall also live together;

12 if we endure, we shall also reign together; if we deny, *he* also will deny us;

13 if we are unfaithful, *he* abides faithful, for he cannot deny himself.

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.
