Gottes Neue Offenbarungen

The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy

Literal Standard Version :: World English Bible Catholic

- Kapitel 2 -

(Hebrews 12:1–3)
1
You, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that [is] in Christ Jesus,
2
and the things that you heard from me through many witnesses, be committing these things to steadfast men, who will also be sufficient to teach others;
3
you, therefore, suffer evil as a good soldier of Jesus Christ;
4
no one serving as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of life, that he may please him who enlisted him;
5
and if anyone also may strive, he is not crowned, except he may strive lawfully;
6
it is first necessary [for] the laboring farmer to partake of the fruits;
7
be considering what things I say, for the LORD gives to you understanding in all things.
8
Remember Jesus Christ, raised out of the dead, of the seed of David, according to my good news,
9
in which I suffer evil—to bonds, as an evildoer, but the word of God has not been bound;
10
because of this I endure all things, because of the chosen ones, that they also may obtain salvation that [is] in Christ Jesus, with perpetual glory.
11
The word [is] steadfast: For if we died togetherwe will also live together;
12
if we endure togetherwe will also reign together; if we deny [Him], He will also deny us;
13
if we are not steadfast, He remains steadfast; He is not able to deny Himself.

The Lord’s Approved Workman

14
Remind [them] of these things, testifying fully before the LORDnot to strive about words to nothing profitable, but to the subversion of those hearing;
15
be diligent to present yourself approved to Goda workman not ashamed, straightly cutting the word of truth;
16
and stand aloof from the profane vain talkings, for they will advance to more impiety,
17
and their word will have pasture as a gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus,
18
who swerved concerning the truth, saying the resurrection to have already been, and overthrows the faith of some;
19
sure, nevertheless, the foundation of God has stood, having this seal: “The LORD has known those who are His,” and, “Let him depart from unrighteousness—everyone who is naming the Name of Christ.”
20
And in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some to honor, and some to dishonor:
21
if, then, anyone may cleanse himself from these, he will be a vessel to honor, sanctified and profitable to the masterhaving been prepared to every good work;
22
and flee the youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those calling on the LORD out of a pure heart;
23
and be avoiding the foolish and uninstructed questions, having known that they beget strife,
24
and a servant of the LORD must not quarrel, but to be gentle to all, apt to teach, patient under evil,
25
instructing those opposing in meeknessif perhaps God may give to them conversion to an acknowledging of the truth,
26
and they may awake out of the Devil’s snare, having been caught by him at his will.
(Hebrews 12:1–3)
1
You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2
The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same things to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
3
You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4
No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.
5
Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules.
6
The farmer who labors must be the first to get a share of the crops.
7
Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
8
Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the offspring(a) of David, according to my Good News,
9
in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained.
10
Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11
This saying is trustworthy:For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
12
If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.
13
If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he can’t deny himself.”

The Lord’s Approved Workman

14
Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord that they don’t argue about words to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
15
Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.
16
But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,
17
and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus:
18
men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some.
19
However, Gods firm foundation stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,”(b) and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord (c) depart from unrighteousness.”
20
Now in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of clay. Some are for honor and some for dishonor.
21
If anyone therefore purges himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, and suitable for the master’s use, prepared for every good work.
22
Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23
But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife.
24
The Lords servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient,
25
in gentleness correcting those who oppose him. Perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,
26
and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
