2:1  You, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2:2  And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, commit to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
2:3  Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
2:4  No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in the concerns of civilian life; he seeks to please the recruiter.
2:5  Also, if anyone competes as an athlete, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
2:6  The hardworking farmer ought to be the first to get a share of the crops.
2:7  Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
2:8  Keep your attention on Jesus Christ as risen from the dead and descended from David. This is according to my gospel.
2:9  I suffer for it to the point of being bound like a criminal, but God's message is not bound.
2:10  This is why I endure all things for the elect: so that they also may obtain salvation, which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
2:11  This saying is trustworthy: For if we have died with Him, we will also live with Him;
2:12  if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;
2:13  if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.
2:14  Remind them of these things, charging them before God not to fight about words; this is in no way profitable and leads to the ruin of the hearers.
2:15  Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who doesn't need to be ashamed, correctly teaching the word of truth.
2:16  But avoid irreverent, empty speech, for this will produce an even greater measure of godlessness.
2:17  And their word will spread like gangrene; Hymenaeus and Philetus are among them.
2:18  They have deviated from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and are overturning the faith of some.
2:19  Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, having this inscription: The Lord knows those who are His, and Everyone who names the name of the Lord must turn away from unrighteousness.
2:20  Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver bowls, but also those of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable.
2:21  So if anyone purifies himself from anything dishonorable, he will be a special instrument, set apart, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.
2:22  Flee from youthful passions, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
2:23  But reject foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they breed quarrels.
2:24  The Lord's slave must not quarrel, but must be gentle to everyone, able to teach, and patient,
2:25  instructing his opponents with gentleness. Perhaps God will grant them repentance leading them to the knowledge of the truth.
2:26  Then they may come to their senses and escape the Devil's trap, having been captured by him to do his will.
