The Second Letter of Paul to Timothy: 2 Timothy

2 Timothy 4:2-4 The duty to preach the Word

Sun, 11 May 2008 22:37:11 -0800

"Preach the Word"
1(A)I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to (B)judge the living and the dead, and by His (C)appearing and His kingdom:
2preach (D)the word; be ready in season and out of season; (E)reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great (F)patience and instruction.
3For (G)the time will come when they will not endure (H)sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,
4and (I)will turn away their ears from the truth and (J)will turn aside to myths.
5But you, (K)be sober in all things, (L)endure hardship, do the work of an (M)evangelist, fulfill your (N)ministry.
6For I am already being (O)poured out as a drink offering, and the time of (P)my departure has come.
7(Q)I have fought the good fight, I have finished (R)the course, I have kept (S)the faith;
8in the future there (T)is laid up for me (U)the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on (V)that day; and not only to me, but also to (W)all who have loved His (X)appearing.
Personal Concerns
9(Y)Make every effort to come to me soon;
10for (Z)Demas, having loved (AA)this present world, has deserted me and gone to (AB)Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to (AC)Galatia, (AD)Titus to Dalmatia.
11(AE)Only (AF)Luke is with me Pick up (AG)Mark and bring him with you, (AH)for he is useful to me for service.
12But (AI)Tychicus I have sent to (AJ)Ephesus.
13When you come bring the cloak which I left at (AK)Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.
14(AL)Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm; (AM)the Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
15Be on guard against him yourself, for he vigorously opposed our teaching.
16At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; (AN)may it not be counted against them.
17But the Lord stood with me and (AO)strengthened me, so that through me (AP)the proclamation might be (AQ)fully accomplished, and that all (AR)the Gentiles might hear; and I was (AS)rescued out of (AT)the lion's mouth.
18The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will (AU)bring me safely to His (AV)heavenly kingdom; (AW)to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
19Greet Prisca and (AX)Aquila, and (AY)the household of Onesiphorus.
20(AZ)Erastus remained at (BA)Corinth, but (BB)Trophimus I left sick at (BC)Miletus.
21(BD)Make every effort to come before (BE)winter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren.
22(BF)The Lord be with your spirit (BG)Grace be with you.

2 Timothy 3:17 The sufficiency of Scripture

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 16:19:32 -0800

1But realize this, that (A)in the last days difficult times will come.
2For men will be (B)lovers of self, (C)lovers of money, (D)boastful, (E)arrogant, (F)revilers, (G)disobedient to parents, (H)ungrateful, (I)unholy,
3(J)unloving, irreconcilable, (K)malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, (L)haters of good,
4(M)treacherous, (N)reckless, (O)conceited, (P)lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5holding to a form of (Q)godliness, although they have (R)denied its power; (S)Avoid such men as these.
6For among them are those who (T)enter into households and captivate (U)weak women weighed down with sins, led on by (V)various impulses,
7always learning and never able to (W)come to the knowledge of the truth.
8Just as (X)Jannes and Jambres (Y)opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, (Z)men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.
9But they will not make further progress; for their (AA)folly will be obvious to all, just (AB)as Jannes's and Jambres's folly was also.
10Now you (AC)followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, (AD)love, perseverance,
11(AE)persecutions, and (AF)sufferings, such as happened to me at (AG)Antioch, at (AH)Iconium and at (AI)Lystra; what (AJ)persecutions I endured, and out of them all (AK)the Lord rescued me!
12Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus (AL)will be persecuted.
13But evil men and impostors (AM)will proceed from bad to worse, (AN)deceiving and being deceived.
14You, however, (AO)continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them,
15and that (AP)from childhood you have known (AQ)the sacred writings which are able to (AR)give you the wisdom that leads to (AS)salvation through faith which is in (AT)Christ Jesus.
16(AU)All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
17so that (AV)the man of God may be adequate, (AW)equipped for every good work.
