2 Timothy 2

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Messiah Yeshua.

2 The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.

3 You therefore must endure hardship, as a good soldier of Messiah Yeshua.

4 No soldier on service entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.

5 If also a man competes in the games, he is not crowned, unless he has competed by the rules.

6 The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops.

7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.

8 Remember Yeshua the Messiah, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my Good News,

9 in which I suffer hardship to bonds, as a criminal. But God's word isn't bound.

10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Messiah Yeshua with eternal glory.

11 This saying is faithful: For if we died with him, we will also live with him.

12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we will deny him, he also will deny us.

13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful -- he can't deny himself.

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.

15 Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn't need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

16 But shun empty chatter, for they will proceed further in ungodliness,

17 and their word will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

18 men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.

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."

20 Now in a great 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.

21 If a man 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.

22 Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and shalom with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

23 But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.

24 The Lord's servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient,

25 in gentleness correcting those who oppose him; if perhaps God may give them repentance to the knowledge of the truth,

26 and they may recover themselves out of the devil's snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.

The Message Bible MSG

1 So, my son, throw yourself into this work for Christ.

2 Pass on what you heard from me - the whole congregation saying Amen! - to reliable leaders who are competent to teach others.

3 When the going gets rough, take it on the chin with the rest of us, the way Jesus did.

4 A soldier on duty doesn't get caught up in making deals at the marketplace. He concentrates on carrying out orders.

5 An athlete who refuses to play by the rules will never get anywhere.

6 It's the diligent farmer who gets the produce.

7 Think it over. God will make it all plain.

8 Fix this picture firmly in your mind: Jesus, descended from the line of David, raised from the dead. It's what you've heard from me all along.

9 It's what I'm sitting in jail for right now - but God's Word isn't in jail!

10 That's why I stick it out here - so that everyone God calls will get in on the salvation of Christ in all its glory.

11 This is a sure thing: If we die with him, we'll live with him;

12 If we stick it out with him, we'll rule with him; If we turn our backs on him, he'll turn his back on us;

13 If we give up on him, he does not give up - for there's no way he can be false to himself.

14 Repeat these basic essentials over and over to God's people. Warn them before God against pious nitpicking, which chips away at the faith. It just wears everyone out.

15 Concentrate on doing your best for God, work you won't be ashamed of, laying out the truth plain and simple.

16 Stay clear of pious talk that is only talk. Words are not mere words, you know. If they're not backed by a godly life,

17 they accumulate as poison in the soul. Hymenaeus and Philetus are examples,

18 throwing believers off stride and missing the truth by a mile by saying the resurrection is over and done with.

19 Meanwhile, God's firm foundation is as firm as ever, these sentences engraved on the stones: God knows who belongs to him. spurn evil, all you who name god as god.

20 In a well-furnished kitchen there are not only crystal goblets and silver platters, but waste cans and compost buckets - some containers used to serve fine meals, others to take out the garbage.

21 Become the kind of container God can use to present any and every kind of gift to his guests for their blessing.

22 Run away from infantile indulgence. Run after mature righteousness - faith, love, peace - joining those who are in honest and serious prayer before God.

23 Refuse to get involved in inane discussions; they always end up in fights.

24 God's servant must not be argumentative, but a gentle listener and a teacher who keeps cool,

25 working firmly but patiently with those who refuse to obey. You never know how or when God might sober them up with a change of heart and a turning to the truth,

26 enabling them to escape the Devil's trap, where they are caught and held captive, forced to run his errands.
