15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

HOU therefore, a my son, be
strong in the grace that is in

2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, d the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

4 h 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.

5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.

6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.

7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

8 Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, m was raised from the dead, " according to my gospel:

9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil-doer, Peven unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

11 It is a faithful saying: For u if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: y if we deny him, he also will deny us:

13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: a he cannot deny himself.

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.
