,,the ,,second ,,epistle ,,of ,,st4     
,,paul ,,to ,,timothy    ,in this       
,epistle1 the ,apostle again instructs  
and admonishes ,timothy in  what        
belonged to his office1 as in the       
former2 and also warns him to  shun the 

conversation of those who had erred from
 the truth1 describing  at the same time
 their character1 ,he tells him of his  
approaching death  and desires him to   
come speedily to him4 ,it appears from  
this  circumstance that he wrote this   
second ,epistle in the time of his last 
imprisonment at ,rome and not long      
before his martyrdom4      #b ,timothy  
,chapter #a    ,he admonishes him to    
stir up the grace he received by his    
ordination and  not to be discouraged at
 his sufferings1 but to hold firm the   
sound  doctrine of the gospel4    #a3a4 
,paul1 an apostle of ,jesus ,christ1 by 
the will of ,god1 according to  the     
promise of life which is in ,christ     
,jesus3    #a3b4 ,to ,timothy1 my dearly
 beloved son4 ,grace1 mercy and peace1  
from ,god  the ,father and from ,christ 
,jesus our ,lord4    #a3c4 ,i give      
thanks to ,god1 whom ,i serve from my   
forefathers1 with a pure  conscience1   
that without ceasing ,i have a          
remembrance of thee in my  prayers1     

night and day4    #a3d4 ,desiring to see
 thee1 being mindful of thy tears1 that 
,i may be  filled with joy3    #a3e4    
,calling to mind that faith which is in 
thee unfeigned1 which also  dwelt first 
in thy grandmother ,lois and in thy     
mother ,eunice1 and ,i am  certain that 
in thee also4    #a3f4 ,for which cause 
,i admonish thee that thou stir up the  
grace of ,god  which is in thee by the  
imposition of my hands4    #a3g4 ,for   
,god hath not given us the spirit of    
fear3 but of power and of  love and of  
sobriety4    #a3h4 ,be not thou         
therefore ashamed of the testimony of   
our ,lord1 nor of  me his prisoner3 but 
labour with the gospel1 according to the
 power of  ,god4    #a3i4 ,who hath     
delivered us and called us by his holy  
calling1 not  according to our own      
works1 but according to his own purpose 
and grace1  which was given us in       
,christ ,jesus before the times of the  
world3    #a3aj4 ,but is now made       
manifest by the illumination of our     

,saviour ,jesus  ,christ1 who hath      
destroyed death and hath brought to     
light life and  incorruption by the     
gospel4    ,by the illumination444 ,that
 is1 by the bright coming and appearing 
of  our ,saviour4    #a3aa4 ,wherein ,i 
am appointed a preacher and an apostle  
and teacher of  the ,gentiles4    #a3ab4
 ,for which cause1 ,i also suffer these 
things3 but ,i am not ashamed4  ,for ,i 
know whom ,i have believed and ,i am    
certain that he is able to keep  that   
which ,i have committed unto him1       
against that day4    #a3ac4 ,hold the   
form of sound words which thou hast     
heard of me3 in faith  and in the love  
which is in ,christ ,jesus4    #a3ad4   
,keep the good thing committed to thy   
trust by the ,holy ,ghost who  dwelleth 
in us4    #a3ae4 ,thou knowest this1    
that all they who are in ,asia are      
turned away  from me3 of whom are       
,phigellus and ,hermogenes4    #a3af4   
,the ,lord give mercy to the house of   
,onesiphorus3 because he hath  often    

refreshed me and hath not been ashamed  
of my chain3    #a3ag4 ,but when he was 
come to ,rome1 he carefully sought me   
and found me4    #a3ah4 ,the ,lord grant
 unto him to find mercy of the ,lord in 
that day4 ,and  in how many things he   
ministered unto me at ,ephesus1 thou    
very well  knowest4    #b ,timothy      
,chapter #b    ,he exhorts him to       
diligence in his office and patience in 
suffering4 ,the  danger of the delusions
 of heretics4    #b3a4 ,thou therefore1 
my son1 be strong in ,christ ,jesus3    
#b3b4 ,and the things which thou hast   
heard of me by many witnesses1 the  same
 commend to faithful men who shall be   
fit to teach others also4    #b3c4      
,labour as a good soldier of ,christ    
,jesus4    #b3d4 ,no man1 being a       
soldier to ,god1 entangleth himself with
 secular  businesses3 that he may please
 him to whom he hath engaged himself4   
#b3e4 ,for he also that striveth for the
 mastery is not crowned1 except he      
strive lawfully4    #b3f4 ,the          

husbandman that laboureth must first    
partake of the fruits4    #b3g4         
,understand what ,i say3 for the ,lord  
will give thee in all things            
understanding4    #b3h4 ,be mindful that
 the ,lord ,jesus ,christ is risen again
 from the dead1  of the seed of ,david1 
according to my gospel3    #b3i4        
,wherein ,i labour even unto bands1 as  
an evildoer4 ,but the word of  ,god is  
not bound4    #b3aj4 ,therefore ,i      
endure all things for the sake of the   
elect1 that they  also may obtain the   
salvation which is in ,christ ,jesus1   
with heavenly  glory4    #b3aa4 ,a      
faithful saying3 for if we be dead with 
him1 we shall live also  with him4      
#b3ab4 ,if we suffer1 we shall also     
reign with him4 ,if we deny him1 he     
will also deny us4    #b3ac4 ,if we     
believe not1 he continueth faithful1 he 
cannot deny himself4    #b3ad4 ,of these
 things put them in mind1 charging them 
before the ,lord4  ,contend not in      
words3 for it is to no profit1 but to   

the subverting of  the hearers4         
#b3ae4 ,carefully study to present      
thyself approved unto ,god1 a workman   
that needeth not to be ashamed1 rightly 
handling the word of truth4    #b3af4   
,but shun profane and vain babblings3   
for they grow much towards  ungodliness4
    #b3ag4 ,and their speech spreadeth  
like a canker3 of whom are ,hymeneus and
  ,philetus3    #b3ah4 ,who have erred  
from the truth1 saying that the         
resurrection is  past already1 and have 
subverted the faith of some4    #b3ai4  
,but the sure foundation of ,god        
standeth firm1 having this seal3  the   
,lord knoweth who are his2 and let every
 one depart from iniquity who  nameth   
the name of the ,lord4    #b3bj4 ,but in
 a great house there are not only       
vessels of gold and of  silver1 but also
 of wood and of earth3 and some indeed  
unto honour1 but  some unto dishonour4  
#b3ba4 ,if any man therefore shall      
cleanse himself from these1 he shall be 
a vessel unto honour1 sanctified and    

profitable to the ,lord1 prepared  unto 
every good work4    #b3bb4 ,but flee    
thou youthful desires1 and pursue       
justice1 faith1 charity  and peace with 
them that call on the ,lord out of a    
pure heart4    #b3bc4 ,and avoid foolish
 and unlearned questions1 knowing that  
they beget  strifes4    #b3bd4 ,but the 
servant of the ,lord must not wrangle3  
but be mild toward  all men1 apt to     
teach1 patient1    #b3be4 ,with modesty 
admonishing them that resist the truth3 
if  peradventure ,god may give them     
repentance to know the truth2    #b3bf4 
,and they may recover themselves from   
the snares of the devil by  whom they   
are held captive at his will4    #b     
,timothy ,chapter #c    ,the character  
of heretics of latter days4 ,he exhorts 
,timothy to  constancy4 ,of the great   
profit of the knowledge of the          
scriptures4    #c3a4 ,know also this1   
that in the last days shall come        
dangerous times4    #c3b4 ,men shall be 
lovers of themselves1 covetous1 haughty1

 proud1  blasphemers1 disobedient to    
parents1 ungrateful1 wicked1    #c3c4   
,without affection1 without peace1      
slanderers1 incontinent1  unmerciful1   
without kindness1    #c3d4 ,traitors1   
stubborn1 puffed up1 and lovers of      
pleasure more than of  ,god3    #c3e4   
,having an appearance indeed of         
godliness but denying the power         
thereof4 ,now these avoid4    #c3f4 ,for
 of these sort are they who creep into  
houses and lead captive  silly women    
laden with sins1 who are led away with  
divers desires3    #c3g4 ,ever learning1
 and never attaining to the knowledge of
 the truth4    #c3h4 ,now as ,jannes and
 ,mambres resisted ,moses1 so these also
 resist the  truth1 men corrupted in    
mind1 reprobate concerning the faith4   
,jannes and ,mambres444 ,the magicians  
of king ,pharao4    #c3i4 ,but they     
shall proceed no farther3 for their     
folly shall be  manifest to all men1 as 
theirs also was4    #c3aj4 ,but thou    
hast fully known my doctrine1 manner of 

life1 purpose1  faith1 longsuffering1   
love1 patience1    #c3aa4 ,persecutions1
 afflictions3 such as came upon me at   
,antioch1 at  ,iconium and at ,lystra3  
what persecutions ,i endured1 and out of
 them all  the ,lord delivered me4      
#c3ab4 ,and all that will live godly in 
,christ ,jesus shall suffer             
persecution4    #c3ac4 ,but evil men and
 seducers shall grow worse and worse3   
erring1 and  driving into error1        
#c3ad4 ,but continue thou in those      
things which thou hast learned and      
which have been committed to thee4      
,knowing of whom thou hast learned      
them3    #c3ae4 ,and because from thy   
infancy thou hast known the holy        
scriptures  which can instruct thee to  
salvation by the faith which is in      
,christ  ,jesus4    #c3af4 ,all         
scripture1 inspired of ,god1 is         
profitable to teach1 to  reprove1 to    
correct1 to instruct in justice3    ,all
 scripture1444 ,every part of divine    
scripture is certainly profitable  for  

all these ends4 ,but1 if we would have  
the whole rule of ,christian  faith and 
practice1 we must not be content with   
those ,scriptures1 which  ,timothy knew 
from his infancy1 that is1 with the ,old
 ,testament alone3  nor yet with the    
,new ,testament1 without taking along   
with it the  traditions of the apostles1
 and the interpretation of the church1  
to  which the apostles delivered both   
the book1 and the true meaning of it4   
#c3ag4 ,that the man of ,god may be     
perfect1 furnished to every good work4  
#b ,timothy ,chapter #d    ,his charge  
to ,timothy4 ,he tells him of his       
approaching death and desires  him to   
come to him4    #d3a4 ,i charge thee1   
before ,god and ,jesus ,christ1 who     
shall judge the  living and the dead1 by
 his coming and his kingdom3    #d3b4   
,preach the word3 be instant in season1 
out of season3 reprove1  entreat1 rebuke
 in all patience and doctrine4    #d3c4 
,for there shall be a time when they    
will not endure sound doctrine  but1    

according to their own desires1 they    
will heap to themselves  teachers having
 itching ears3    #d3d4 ,and will indeed
 turn away their hearing from the truth1
 but will be  turned unto fables4       
#d3e4 ,but be thou vigilant1 labour in  
all things1 do the work of an           
evangelist1 fulfil thy ministry4 ,be    
sober4    ,an evangelist444 a diligent  
preacher of the gospel4    #d3f4 ,for ,i
 am even now ready to be sacrificed3 and
 the time of my  dissolution is at hand4
    #d3g4 ,i have fought a good fight3  
,i have finished my course3 ,i have kept
  the faith4    #d3h4 ,as to the rest1  
there is laid up for me a crown of      
justice which  the ,lord the just judge 
will render to me in that day3 and not  
only to  me1 but to them also that love 
his coming4 ,make haste to come to me   
quickly4    #d3i4 ,for ,demas hath left 
me1 loving this world1 and is gone to   
,thessalonica3    #d3aj4 ,crescens into 
,galatia1 ,titus into ,dalmatia4        
#d3aa4 ,only ,luke is with me4 ,take    

,mark and bring him with thee3 for he is
  profitable to me for the ministry4    
#d3ab4 ,but ,tychicus ,i have sent to   
,ephesus4    #d3ac4 ,the cloak that ,i  
left at ,troas1 with ,carpus1 when thou 
comest1  bring with thee3 and the books1
 especially the parchments4    #d3ad4   
,alexander the coppersmith hath done me 
much evil3 the ,lord will  reward him   
according to his works3    #d3ae4 ,whom 
do thou also avoid3 for he hath greatly 
withstood our words4    #d3af4 ,at my   
first answer1 no man stood with me3 but 
all forsook me4  ,may  it not be laid to
 their charge6    #d3ag4 ,but the ,lord 
stood by me and strengthened me1 that by
 me the  preaching may be accomplished  
and that all the ,gentiles may hear4    
,and ,i  was delivered out of the mouth 
of the lion4    #d3ah4 ,the ,lord hath  
delivered me from every evil work and   
will preserve  me unto his heavenly     
kingdom4 ,to whom be glory for ever and 
ever4 ,amen4    #d3ai4 ,salute ,prisca1
