2Ti 2:1	You therefore my son be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 2:2	And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
2Ti 2:3	You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2Ti 2:4	No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.
2Ti 2:5	And also if anyone competes in athletics he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
2Ti 2:6	The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops.
2Ti 2:7	Consider what I say and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
2Ti 2:8	Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel
2Ti 2:9	for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained.
2Ti 2:10	Therefore 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.
2Ti 2:11	This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him We shall also live with Him.

2Ti 2:20	But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay some for honor and some for dishonor.
2Ti 2:21	Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter he will be a vessel for honor sanctified and useful for the Master prepared for every good work.
2Ti 2:22	Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness faith love peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2Ti 2:23	But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes knowing that they generate strife.
2Ti 2:24	And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all able to teach patient
2Ti 2:25	in humility correcting those who are in opposition if God perhaps will grant them repentance so that they may know the truth
2Ti 2:26	and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil having been taken captive by him to do his will.
