2 Timothy 2:7-16,19-23,25-26
[7]Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
[8]Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
[9]Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
[10]Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
[11]It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
[12]If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
[13]If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: 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.
[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.
[19]Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
[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.
[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.
