2 Timoteo 2

1Ikaw nga, anak ko, magpakalakas ka sa biyayang nasa kay Cristo Jesus. 2At ang mga bagay na iyong narinig sa akin sa gitna ng maraming saksi, ay siya mo ring ipagkatiwala sa mga taong tapat, na makapagtuturo naman sa mga iba. 3Makipagtiis ka sa akin ng mga kahirapan, na gaya ng mabuting kawal ni Cristo Jesus. 4Sinomang kawal na nasa pagkakawal ay hindi nahalubilo sa mga bagay ng buhay na ito; upang siya'y kalugdan niyaong nagtala sa pagkakawal. 5At kung ang sinoman ay makikipaglaban naman sa mga laro, ay hindi pinuputungan maliban na kung makipaglabang matuwid. 6Ang magsasaka na nagpapagal ay siyang kailangang unang makabahagi sa mga bunga. 7Isipin mo ang sinasabi ko; sapagka't bibigyan ka ng Panginoon ng pagkaunawa sa lahat ng mga bagay. 8Alalahanin mo si Jesucristo na muling nabuhay sa mga patay, sa binhi ni David, ayon sa aking evangelio: 9Na siyang pinagtitiisan ko ng kahirapan sa mga tanikala, na tulad sa tampalasan; nguni't ang salita ng Dios ay hindi natatanikalaan. 10Kaya aking tinitiis ang lahat ng mga bagay dahil sa mga hinirang, upang kamtan naman nila ang pagkaligtas na nasa kay Cristo Jesus na may kaluwalhatiang walang hanggan. 11Tapat ang pasabi: Sapagka't kung tayo'y nangamatay na kalakip niya, ay mangabubuhay naman tayong kasama niya: 12Kung tayo'y mangagtiis, ay mangaghahari naman tayong kasama niya: kung ating ikaila siya, ay ikakaila naman niya tayo: 13Kung tayo'y hindi mga tapat, siya'y nananatiling tapat; sapagka't hindi makapagkakaila sa kaniyang sarili. 14Ipaalaala mo sa kanila ang mga bagay na ito, na sila'y pagbilinan sa paningin ng Panginoon, na sila'y huwag makipagtalo tungkol sa mga salitaan na hindi mapapakinabangan, sa ikapapahamak ng mga nakikinig. 15Pagsikapan mong humarap na subok sa Dios, manggagawang walang anomang ikahihiya, na gumagamit na matuwid ng salita ng katotohanan. 16Datapuwa't ilagan mo ang mga usapang walang kabuluhan: sapagka't sila'y lalong magpapatuloy sa kasamaan, 17At ang kanilang salita ay kakalat na gaya ng ganggrena: na sa mga ito ay si Himeneo at si Fileto; 18Na mga taong tungkol sa katotohanan ay nangasinsay, na sinasabing ang pagkabuhay na maguli ay nakaraan na, at ginugulo ang pananampalataya ng iba. 19Gayon ma'y ang matibay na pinagsasaligan ng Dios ay nananatili na may tatak nito, Nakikilala ng Panginoon ang mga kaniya: at, Lumayo sa kalikuan ang bawa't isa na sumasambitla ng pangalan ng Panginoon. 20Datapuwa't sa isang malaking bahay ay hindi lamang may mga sisidlang ginto at pilak, kundi mayroon din namang kahoy at lupa; at ang iba'y sa ikapupuri, at ang iba'y sa ikasisirang-puri. 21Kung ang sinoman nga ay malinis sa alin man sa mga ito, ay magiging sisidlang ikapupuri, pinakabanal, marapat gamitin ng mayari, nahahanda sa lahat ng gawang mabuti. 22Datapuwa't layuan mo ang masasamang pita ng kabinataan, at sundin mo ang kabanalan, ang pananampalataya, ang pagibig, ang kapayapaan, kasama ng mga nagsisitawag sa Panginoon mula sa pusong malinis. 23Nguni't tanggihan mo ang mga usapang walang kabuluhan at hangal, yamang nalalaman mo na namumunga ng mga pagtatalo. 24At ang alipin ng Panginoon ay hindi nararapat na makipagtalo, kundi maamo sa lahat, sapat na makapagturo, matiisin, 25Na sawaying may kaamuan ang mga nagsisisalangsang; baka sakaling sila'y pagkalooban ng Dios ng pagsisisi sa ikaaalam ng katotohanan, 26At sila'y makawala sa silo ng diablo, na bumihag sa kanila ayon sa kaniyang kalooban.

1You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also. 3You therefore must endure hardship, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life, that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier. 5Also, if anyone competes in athletics, he isn’t crowned unless he has competed by the rules. 6The farmers who labor must be the first to get a share of the crops. 7Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things. 8Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my Good News, 9in which I suffer hardship to the point of chains as a criminal. But God’s word isn’t chained. 10Therefore I endure all things for the chosen ones’ sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11This saying is faithful: “For if we died with him, we will also live with him. 12If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us. 13If we are faithless, he remains faithful. He can’t deny himself.” 14Remind 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. 15Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth. 16But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness, 17and those words will consume like gangrene, of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18men who have erred concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and overthrowing the faith of some. 19However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.” 20Now 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. 21If 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. 22Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23But refuse foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing that they generate strife. 24The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient, 25in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth, 26and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to his will.

1Gij dan, mijn zoon, word gesterkt in de genade, die in Christus Jezus is; 2En hetgeen gij van mij gehoord hebt onder vele getuigen, betrouw dat aan getrouwe mensen, welke bekwaam zullen zijn om ook anderen te leren. 3Gij dan, lijd verdrukkingen, als een goed krijgsknecht van Jezus Christus. 4Niemand, die in de krijg dient, wordt ingewikkeld in de handelingen des leeftochts, opdat hij dien moge behagen, die hem tot den krijg aangenomen heeft. 5En indien ook iemand strijdt, die wordt niet gekroond, zo hij niet wettelijk heeft gestreden. 6De landman, als hij arbeidt, moet alzo eerst de vruchten genieten. 7Merk, hetgeen ik zeg; doch de Heere geve u verstand in alle dingen. 8Houd in gedachtenis, dat Jezus Christus uit de doden is opgewekt, Welke is uit den zade Davids, naar mijn Evangelie; 9Om hetwelk ik verdrukkingen lijde tot de banden toe, als een kwaaddoener; maar het Woord Gods is niet gebonden. 10Daarom verdraag ik alles om de uitverkorenen, opdat ook zij de zaligheid zouden verkrijgen, die in Christus Jezus is, met eeuwige heerlijkheid. 11Dit is een getrouw woord; want indien wij met Hem gestorven zijn, zo zullen wij ook met Hem leven; 12Indien wij verdragen, wij zullen ook met Hem heersen; indien wij Hem verloochenen, Hij zal ons ook verloochenen; 13Indien wij ontrouw zijn, Hij blijft getrouw; Hij kan Zichzelven niet verloochenen. 14Breng deze dingen in gedachtenis, en betuig voor den Heere, dat zij geen woordenstrijd voeren, hetwelk tot geen ding nut is, dan tot verkering der toehoorders. 15Benaarstig u, om uzelven Gode beproefd voor te stellen, een arbeider, die niet beschaamd wordt, die het Woord der waarheid recht snijdt. 16Maar stel u tegen het ongoddelijk ijdelroepen; want zij zullen in meerdere goddeloosheid toenemen. 17En hun woord zal voorteten, gelijk de kanker; onder welke is Hymeneus en Filetus; 18Die van de waarheid zijn afgeweken, zeggende, dat de opstanding alrede geschied is, en verkeren sommiger geloof. 19Evenwel het vaste fondament Gods staat, hebbende dit zegel: De Heere kent degenen, die de Zijnen zijn; en: Een iegelijk, die den Naam van Christus noemt, sta af van ongerechtigheid. 20Doch in een groot huis zijn niet alleen gouden en zilveren vaten, maar ook houten en aarden vaten; en sommige ter ere, maar sommige ter onere. 21Indien dan iemand zichzelven van deze reinigt, die zal een vat zijn ter ere, geheiligd en bekwaam tot gebruik des Heeren, tot alle goed werk toebereid. 22Maar vlied de begeerlijkheden der jonkheid; en jaag naar rechtvaardigheid, geloof, liefde, vrede, met degenen, die den Heere aanroepen uit een rein hart. 23En verwerp de vragen, die dwaas en zonder lering zijn, wetende, dat zij twistingen voortbrengen. 24En een dienstknecht des Heeren moet niet twisten, maar vriendelijk zijn jegens allen, bekwaam om te leren, en die de kwaden kan verdragen; 25Met zachtmoedigheid onderwijzende degenen, die tegenstaan; of hun God te eniger tijd bekering gave tot erkentenis der waarheid; 26En zij wederom ontwaken mochten uit den strik des duivels, onder welken zij gevangen waren tot zijn wil.
