2 Timothy 2:5-15

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

5 Whoever enters an athletic competition wins the prize only when playing by the rules.

6 A hard-working farmer should have the first share of the crops.

7 Understand what I'm saying. The Lord will help you understand all these things.

8 Always think about Jesus Christ. He was brought back to life and is a descendant of David. This is the Good News that I tell others.

9 I'm suffering disgrace for spreading this Good News. I have even been put into prison like a criminal. However, God's word is not imprisoned.

10 For that reason, I endure everything for the sake of those who have been chosen so that they, too, may receive salvation from Christ Jesus with glory that lasts forever.

11 This is a statement that can be trusted: If we have died with him, we will live with him.

12 If we endure, we will rule with him. If we disown him, he will disown us.

13 If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful because he cannot be untrue to himself.

14 Remind believers about these things, and warn them in the sight of God not to quarrel over words. Quarreling doesn't do any good but only destroys those who are listening.

15 Do your best to present yourself to God as a tried-and-true worker who isn't ashamed to teach the word of truth correctly.

New International Version NIV

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.

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.
