The inoculator — a teacher, a soldier, a contender, a farmer, and a workman
2:1-15
2 Tim. 2
:1
2:1
You therefore, my
achild, be
1bempowered in the
2cgrace which is in Christ Jesus;
2 Tim. 2
:2
2:2
And the
1things which you have
aheard from me through many
bwitnesses, these
2ccommit to
3dfaithful men, who will be competent to
eteach others also.
2 Tim. 2
:3
2:3
aSuffer evil with
me as a good
1bsoldier of Christ Jesus.
2 Tim. 2
:4
2:4
No one serving as a soldier
1aentangles himself with the
baffairs of this
2life, that he may please the one who enlisted
him.
2 Tim. 2
:5
2:5
And also if anyone
1acontends in the games, he is not
2bcrowned unless he contends lawfully.
2 Tim. 2
:6
2:6
The laboring
1afarmer must be the first to partake of the fruit.
2 Tim. 2

2 Tim. 2
:8
2:8
Remember Jesus Christ,
1araised from the dead, of the
2bseed of David, according to
3cmy gospel,
2 Tim. 2
:9
2:9
In which I
asuffer evil unto
bbonds as a
ccriminal; but the
dword of God is
1not bound.
2 Tim. 2
:10
2:10
Therefore I
aendure all things for the sake of the
1bchosen ones, that they themselves also may obtain the
csalvation which is in Christ Jesus
2with deternal glory.
2 Tim. 2
:11
2:11
aFaithful is the word:
1For if we
2bdied with
Him, we will also
3clive with
Him;
2 Tim. 2
:12
2:12
If we
1aendure, we will also
2breign with
Him; if we
cdeny Him, He also will
3deny us;
2 Tim. 2
:13
2:13
If we are
afaithless, He remains
1faithful, for He
2bcannot deny Himself.
2 Tim. 2
:14
2:14
Remind them of these things, solemnly
acharging them before God not to have
bcontentions of words,
which is cuseful for nothing, to the
1ruin of those who hear.

:15
2:15
Be diligent to
apresent yourself
bapproved to God, an unashamed workman,
1cutting straight the
cword of the
2dtruth.
V.
The spreading of the decline — like that of gangrene
2:16-26
2 Tim. 2
:16
2:16
But aavoid 1bprofane,
cvain babblings, for they will advance to more
2dungodliness,
2 Tim. 2
:17
2:17
And their word will
1spread like
2gangrene, of whom are
aHymenaeus and Philetus,
2 Tim. 2
:18
2:18
Who concerning the
1atruth have
2bmisaimed, saying that the
cresurrection has
3already taken place, and overthrow the
4dfaith of some.
2 Tim. 2
:19
2:19
However the firm
1afoundation of God stands, having this
2bseal, The Lord
cknows those who are His, and, Let everyone who
dnames the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.
2 Tim. 2
:20
2:20
1But in a
2great house there are not only
3gold and silver vessels but also
4wooden and earthen; and some are unto
ahonor, and some unto dishonor.
2 Tim. 2
:21
2:21
If therefore anyone
1cleanses himself from
2athese, he will be a
bvessel 3unto honor,
csanctified,
duseful to the master,
eprepared unto every good work.
2 Tim. 2
:22
2:22
But aflee youthful
1lusts, and
bpursue 2righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who
3ccall on the Lord out of a
4dpure heart.
2 Tim. 2
:23
2:23
But 1afoolish bquestionings and those arising from an
2untrained mind refuse, knowing that they beget contentions.
2 Tim. 2
:24
2:24
But a
aslave of the Lord ought
bnot to contend but be gentle toward all, apt to
cteach, bearing with wrong;
2 Tim. 2
:25
2:25
In ameekness correcting those who
boppose, if perhaps God may give them
1crepentance unto the
2dfull knowledge of the truth,
2 Tim. 2
:26
2:26
And they may
1areturn to soberness out of the
2bsnare of the
3devil, having been caught alive by him, unto
4cHis will.
