2 Timothy 2:7-17

New International Reader's Version NIRV

7 Think about what I'm saying. The Lord will help you understand what all of it means.

8 Remember Jesus Christ. He came from David's family line. He was raised from the dead. That is my good news.

9 I am suffering for it. I have even been put in chains like someone who has committed a crime. But God's word is not held back by chains.

10 So I put up with everything for the good of God's chosen people. Then they also can be saved. Christ Jesus saves them. He gives them glory that will last forever.

11 Here is a saying you can trust. If we died with him, we will also live with him.

12 If we don't give up, we will also rule with him. If we say we don't know him, he will also say he doesn't know us.

13 Even if we are not faithful, he will remain faithful. He must be true to himself.

14 Keep reminding the believers of those things. While God is watching, warn them not to argue about words. That doesn't have any value. It only destroys those who listen.

15 Do your best to please God. Be a worker who doesn't need to be ashamed. Teach the message of truth correctly.

16 Stay away from godless chatter. Those who take part in it will become more and more ungodly.

17 Their teaching will spread like a deadly sickness. Hymenaeus and Philetus are two of those teachers.

New International Version NIV

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.

14 Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.

15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.

17 Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
