00:00The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy Chapter 1
00:05Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which
00:12is in Christ Jesus, to Timothy, my dearly beloved son, grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father
00:20and Christ Jesus our Lord. I thank God whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience,
00:27that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers, night and day, greatly desiring to
00:34see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy when I call to remembrance the
00:42unfeigned faith it is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice,
00:49and I am persuaded that in thee also. Wherefore I put thee in remembrance, that thou stir up the
00:56gift of God which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not given us the spirit of
01:03fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony
01:10of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner. But be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according
01:18to the power of God, who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works,
01:25but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
01:33but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death,
01:41and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, whereunto I am appointed a
01:47preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For the which cause I also suffer these
01:55things? Nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is
02:04able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. Hold fast the form of sound words
02:12which thou hast heard of me in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was
02:19committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. This thou knowest that all they
02:25which are in Asia be turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. The Lord give mercy
02:33unto the house of Onesiphorus, for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain. But when he was
02:41in Rome he sought me out very diligently, and found me. The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy
02:50of the Lord in that day, and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus thou knowest very well.
02:57Chapter 2 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that
03:07thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same cometh thou to faithful men who shall be able to
03:14teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth
03:23entangleth, entangleth himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who hath chosen
03:29him to be a soldier. And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned except he strive
03:36lawfully. The husbandman that laboreth must be first partaker of the fruits. Consider what I say,
03:44and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. Remember that Jesus Christ, the seed of David,
03:51was raised from the dead according to my gospel, wherein I suffer trouble as an evildoer even unto
03:58bonds, but the word of God is not bound. Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they
04:05may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. It is a faithful saying,
04:13For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him.
04:21If we deny him, he also will deny us. If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful,
04:28he cannot deny himself. Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that
04:35they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. Study to show thyself
04:42approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth,
04:49but shun profane and vain babblings, for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
04:55And their word will eat as doth a canker, of whom as Hymenaeus and Philetus, who concerning the truth
05:03have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some.
05:09Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, the Lord knoweth them that are
05:16his, and let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house
05:24there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some to honor,
05:31and some to dishonor. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto
05:38honors sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
05:44Flee also youthful lusts, but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace with them that call on the
05:52Lord out of a pure heart. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender
05:59strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive, but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach,
06:07patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves, if God peradventure will give them
06:13repentance to the acknowledging of the truth, and that they may recover themselves out of the
06:20snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
06:25Chapter 3
06:27This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come, for men shall be lovers of their
06:35own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without
06:45natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are
06:54good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God, having a form of
07:03godliness, but denying the power thereof, from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into
07:12houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers' lusts, ever learning and
07:20never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do
07:27these also resist the truth, men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed
07:35no further, for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. But thou hast fully
07:43known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, charity, patience, persecutions,
07:53afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra, what persecutions I endured,
08:01but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus
08:08shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving
08:16and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned, and hast been assured of,
08:24knowing of whom thou hast learned them. And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures,
08:30which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All
08:37scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
08:45for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect,
08:52throughly furnished unto all good works. Chapter 4
08:57I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead
09:05at his appearing and his kingdom, preach the word. Be instant, in season, out of season. Reprove,
09:14rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure
09:22sound doctrine, but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers having itching ears,
09:29and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all
09:36things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
09:44For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good
09:51fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of
09:59righteousness, which the Lord the righteous judge shall give me at that day, and not to me only,
10:05but unto all them also that love his appearing. Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me. For Demas
10:14hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia,
10:22Titus unto Dalmatia, only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with thee, for he is profitable
10:31to me for the ministry. And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus,
10:39when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments. Alexander the coppersmith
10:46did me much evil, the Lord reward him according to his works, of whom be thou aware also, for he
10:54hath greatly withstood our words. At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me.
11:01I pray, God, that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding, the Lord stood with me,
11:08and strengthened me. That by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles
11:15might hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord shall deliver me from
11:22every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom, to whom be glory for ever and
11:29ever. Amen. Salute Priscilla and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. Erastus abode at Corinth,
11:38but Trophimus have I left it my letum sick. Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus
11:45greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. The Lord Jesus Christ be with
11:53thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
