2 Timothy 2

1You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

συ ουν, τεκνον μου, ενδυναμου εν τη χαριτι τη εν χριστω ιησου,

2And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

και α ηκουσας παρ εμου δια πολλων μαρτυρων, ταυτα παραθου πιστοις ανθρωποις, οιτινες ικανοι εσονται και ετερους διδαξαι.

3You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

συ ουν κακοπαθησον ως καλος στρατιωτης ιησου χριστου.

4No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.

ουδεις στρατευομενος εμπλεκεται ταις του βιου πραγματειαις, ινα τω στρατολογησαντι αρεση.

5And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.

εαν δε και αθλη τις, ου στεφανουται, εαν μη νομιμως αθληση.

6The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops.

τον κοπιωντα γεωργον δει πρωτον των καρπων μεταλαμβανειν.

7Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.

νοει α λεγω· δωη γαρ σοι ο κυριος συνεσιν εν πασιν.

8Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel,

μνημονευε ιησουν χριστον εγηγερμενον εκ νεκρων, εκ σπερματος δαυιδ, κατα το ευαγγελιον μου,

9for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained.

εν ω κακοπαθω μεχρι δεσμων ως κακουργος· αλλ ο λογος του θεου ου δεδεται.

10Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

δια τουτο παντα υπομενω δια τους εκλεκτους, ινα και αυτοι σωτηριας τυχωσιν της εν χριστω ιησου μετα δοξης αιωνιου.

11For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him.

πιστος ο λογος· ει γαρ συναπεθανομεν, και συζησομεν·

12If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.

ει υπομενομεν, και συμβασιλευσομεν· ει αρνουμεθα, κακεινος αρνησεται ημας·

13He cannot deny Himself.

ει απιστουμεν, εκεινος πιστος μενει· αρνησασθαι εαυτον ου δυναται.

14Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers.

ταυτα υπομιμνησκε, διαμαρτυρομενος ενωπιον του κυριου μη λογομαχειν εις ουδεν χρησιμον, επι καταστροφη των ακουοντων.

15Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

σπουδασον σεαυτον δοκιμον παραστησαι τω θεω, εργατην ανεπαισχυντον, ορθοτομουντα τον λογον της αληθειας.

16But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness.

τας δε βεβηλους κενοφωνιας περιιστασο· επι πλειον γαρ προκοψουσιν ασεβειας,

17And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort,

και ο λογος αυτων ως γαγγραινα νομην εξει· ων εστιν υμεναιος και φιλητος,

18who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some.

οιτινες περι την αληθειαν ηστοχησαν, λεγοντες την αναστασιν ηδη γεγονεναι, και ανατρεπουσιν την τινων πιστιν.

19Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: 'The Lord knows those who are His,' and, 'Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.'

ο μεντοι στερεος θεμελιος του θεου εστηκεν, εχων την σφραγιδα ταυτην· εγνω κυριος τους οντας αυτου· και· αποστητω απο αδικιας πας ο ονομαζων το ονομα κυριου.

20But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor.

εν μεγαλη δε οικια ουκ εστιν μονον σκευη χρυσα και αργυρα, αλλα και ξυλινα και οστρακινα, και α μεν εις τιμην, α δε εις ατιμιαν.

21Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

εαν ουν τις εκκαθαρη εαυτον απο τουτων, εσται σκευος εις τιμην, ηγιασμενον και ευχρηστον τω δεσποτη, εις παν εργον αγαθον ητοιμασμενον.

22Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

τας δε νεωτερικας επιθυμιας φευγε, διωκε δε δικαιοσυνην, πιστιν, αγαπην, ειρηνην μετα των επικαλουμενων τον κυριον εκ καθαρας καρδιας.

23But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.

τας δε μωρας και απαιδευτους ζητησεις παραιτου, ειδως οτι γεννωσιν μαχας·

24And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,

δουλον δε κυριου ου δει μαχεσθαι, αλλ ηπιον ειναι προς παντας, διδακτικον, ανεξικακον,

25in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth,

εν πραοτητι παιδευοντα τους αντιδιατιθεμενους, μηποτε δω αυτοις ο θεος μετανοιαν εις επιγνωσιν αληθειας,

26and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.

και ανανηψωσιν εκ της του διαβολου παγιδος, εζωγρημενοι υπ αυτου εις το εκεινου θελημα.
