2 Timothy 2:4-14

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

4 No man that wars entangles himself with the affairs of <em>this</em> life, that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.

5 And also if anyone contends <em>in public contest</em>, he is not crowned, except he contends legitimately.

6 The husbandman, in order to receive the fruits, must first work hard.

7 Understand what I say, that the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things.

8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead, according to my gospel,

9 in which I suffer trouble, like unto an evil doer, <em>even</em> unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

10 Therefore, I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they may also obtain the saving health which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

11 <em>This is</em> a faithful word: That if we are dead with <em>him</em>, we shall also live with <em>him</em>;

12 if we suffer, we shall also reign with <em>him</em>; if we deny <em>him</em>, he also will deny us;

13 if we are unfaithful, <em>yet</em> he remains faithful; he cannot deny himself.

14 Counsel these things, charging <em>them</em> before the Lord. Strive not in words that profit nothing, <em>but rather</em> subvert the hearers.

New International Version NIV

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.

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.
