The Second Book of Timothy

 II TIMOTHY 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of

God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

II TIMOTHY 1:2 To Timothy, {my} dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy,

{and} peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

II TIMOTHY 1:3 I thank God, whom I serve from {my} forefathers

with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of

thee in my prayers night and day;

II TIMOTHY 1:4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy

tears, that I may be filled with joy;

II TIMOTHY 1:5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith

that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and

thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

II TIMOTHY 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir

up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my

hands.

II TIMOTHY 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but

of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

II TIMOTHY 1:8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of

our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the

afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

II TIMOTHY 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called {us} with an holy

calling, not according to our works, but according to his own

purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the

world began,

II TIMOTHY 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our

Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought

life and immortality to light through the gospel:

II TIMOTHY 1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an

apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

II TIMOTHY 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things:

nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed,

and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have

committed unto him against that day.

II TIMOTHY 1:13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou

hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

II TIMOTHY 1:14 That good thing which was committed unto thee

keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.

II TIMOTHY 1:15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in

Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and

Hermogenes.

II TIMOTHY 1:16 The Lord give mercy unto the house of

Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my

chain:

II TIMOTHY 1:17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very

diligently, and found {me}.

II TIMOTHY 1:18 The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of

the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto

me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

II TIMOTHY 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace

that is in Christ Jesus.

II TIMOTHY 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among

many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall

be able to teach others also.

II TIMOTHY 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier

of Jesus Christ.

II TIMOTHY 2:4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the

affairs of {this} life; that he may please him who hath chosen

him to be a soldier.

II TIMOTHY 2:5 And if a man also strive for masteries, {yet} is

he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

II TIMOTHY 2:6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first

partaker of the fruits.

II TIMOTHY 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee

understanding in all things.

II TIMOTHY 2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David

was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

II TIMOTHY 2:9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, {even}

unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

II TIMOTHY 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's

sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ

Jesus with eternal glory.

II TIMOTHY 2:11 {It is} a faithful saying: For if we be dead with

{him}, we shall also live with {him}:

II TIMOTHY 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with {him}: if

we deny {him}, he also will deny us:

II TIMOTHY 2:13 If we believe not, {yet} he abideth faithful: he

cannot deny himself.

II TIMOTHY 2:14 Of these things put {them} in remembrance,

charging {them} before the Lord that they strive not about words

to no profit, {but} to the subverting of the hearers.

II TIMOTHY 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a

workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word

of truth.

II TIMOTHY 2:16 But shun profane {and} vain babblings: for they

will increase unto more ungodliness.

II TIMOTHY 2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom

is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

II TIMOTHY 2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that

the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of

some.

II TIMOTHY 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure,

having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let

every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

II TIMOTHY 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels

of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to

honour, and some to dishonour.

II TIMOTHY 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he

shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the

master's use, {and} prepared unto every good work.

II TIMOTHY 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow

righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the

Lord out of a pure heart.

II TIMOTHY 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid,

knowing that they do gender strifes.

II TIMOTHY 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but

be gentle unto all {men}, apt to teach, patient,

II TIMOTHY 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose

themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the

acknowledging of the truth;

II TIMOTHY 2:26 And {that} they may recover themselves out of the

snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

II TIMOTHY 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous

times shall come.

II TIMOTHY 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,

unthankful, unholy,

II TIMOTHY 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false

accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

II TIMOTHY 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures

more than lovers of God;

II TIMOTHY 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power

thereof: from such turn away.

II TIMOTHY 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses,

and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with

divers lusts,

II TIMOTHY 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the

knowledge of the truth.

II TIMOTHY 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do

these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate

concerning the faith.

II TIMOTHY 3:9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly

shall be manifest unto all {men}, as theirs also was.

II TIMOTHY 3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of

life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

II TIMOTHY 3:11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at

Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but

out of {them} all the Lord delivered me.

II TIMOTHY 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus

shall suffer persecution.

II TIMOTHY 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and

worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

II TIMOTHY 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast

learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast

learned {them};

II TIMOTHY 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy

scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation

through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

II TIMOTHY 3:16 All scripture {is} given by inspiration of God,

and {is} profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,

for instruction in righteousness:

II TIMOTHY 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly

furnished unto all good works.

II TIMOTHY 4:1 I charge {thee} therefore before God, and the Lord

Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his

appearing and his kingdom;

II TIMOTHY 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of

season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and

doctrine.

II TIMOTHY 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure

sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to

themselves teachers, having itching ears;

II TIMOTHY 4:4 And they shall turn away {their} ears from the

truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

II TIMOTHY 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions,

do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

II TIMOTHY 4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of

my departure is at hand.

II TIMOTHY 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished {my}

course, I have kept the faith:

II TIMOTHY 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of

righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me

at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love

his appearing.

II TIMOTHY 4:9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

II TIMOTHY 4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this

present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to

Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

II TIMOTHY 4:11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him

with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

II TIMOTHY 4:12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.

II TIMOTHY 4:13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when

thou comest, bring {with thee}, and the books, {but} especially

the parchments.

II TIMOTHY 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the

Lord reward him according to his works:

II TIMOTHY 4:15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly

withstood our words.

II TIMOTHY 4:16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all

{men} forsook me: {I pray God} that it may not be laid to their

charge.

II TIMOTHY 4:17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and

strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known,

and {that} all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out

of the mouth of the lion.

II TIMOTHY 4:18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil

work, and will preserve {me} unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom

{be} glory for ever and ever. Amen.

II TIMOTHY 4:19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of

Onesiphorus.

II TIMOTHY 4:20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I

left at Miletum sick.

II TIMOTHY 4:21 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus

greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the

brethren.

II TIMOTHY 4:22 The Lord Jesus Christ {be} with thy spirit. Grace

{be} with you. Amen.
