2 Timothy 2:1-12 ▼

1 Thou therfore my sonne, be strong in the grace that is in Christe Iesus.

2 And the thynges that thou haste hearde of me by many witnesses, the same commit thou to faythfull men, which shalbe apt to teache other also.

3 Thou therfore suffer afflictions as a good souldier of Iesus Christe.

4 No man that warreth, entangleth hym selfe with thaffayres of this lyfe, that he may please hym which hath chosen hym to be a souldier.

5 And if a man also wrestle, yet is he not crowned except he wrestle lawfullie.

6 The labouryng husbandman, must first be partaker of the fruites.

7 Consider What I say: and the Lorde geue thee vnderstandyng in all thinges.

8 Remember that Iesus Christe, of the seede of Dauid, was raysed from the dead, accordyng to my Gospell,

9 Wherin I suffer trouble as an euyll doer, euen vnto bondes: But the worde of God is not bounde.

10 Therfore I suffer all thynges for the electes sakes, that they myght also obtaine the saluation, which is in Christ Iesus, with eternall glorie.

11 It is a faythfull saying: for yf we be dead with hym, we shall also lyue with hym:

12 If we be patient, we shall also raigne with hym: If we denie hym, he also shall denie vs.
