Bible, Ethician Version
2 Timothy
2Tim.1
[6] Wherefore I
put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by
the putting on of my hands.
[7] For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of
love, and of a sound mind.
2Tim.2
[15] Study to
shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.
[16] But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto
more ungodliness.
[20] But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of
silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to
dishonour.
[21] If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel
unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every
good work.
[22] Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity,
peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
[23] But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do
gender strifes.
[24] And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all
men, apt to teach, patient,
[25] In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God
peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
[26] And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil,
who are taken captive by him at his will.
2Tim.3
[1] This know
also, that perilous times shall come.
[2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
[3] Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
[4] Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of
God;
[7] Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
[9] But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest
unto all men, as theirs also was.
[10] But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose,
faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
[13] But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and
being deceived.
[17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all
good works.
2Tim.4
[6] For I am now
ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
[7] I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept
the faith:
, if she have washed the
saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently
followed every good work.
[18] For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth
out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
[22] Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's
sins: keep thyself pure.
[23] Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake
and thine often infirmities.
[24] Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and
some men they follow after.
[25] Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and
they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
1Tim.6
[4] He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about
questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil
surmisings,
[5] Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the
truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
[6] But godliness with contentment is great gain.
[7] For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can
carry nothing out.
[8] And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
[9] But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and
into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and
perdition.
[10] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some
coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through
with many sorrows.
[11] But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after
righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
[17] Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not
highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us
richly all things to enjoy;
[18] That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to
distribute, willing to communicate;
