2 Timothy 1:13

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—

He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.

holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.

Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,

Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your lamp stand out of its place, unless you repent.

“ ‘You shall not lie with a man as with a woman. That is detestable.

that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.

Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness,

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

Therefore, beloved, seeing that you look for these things, be diligent to be found in peace, without defect and blameless in his sight.

But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

Don’t you know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run like that, that you may win.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

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.

Blessed is a person who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.

For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

Watch yourselves, that we don’t lose the things which we have accomplished, but that we receive a full reward.

“I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can’t tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and found them false.

Don’t be afraid of the things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested; and you will have oppression for ten days. Be faithful to death, and I will give you the crown of life.

He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I come quickly.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus.

Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.

A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but deceit in it crushes the spirit.

For wisdom is a defense, even as money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

You were running well! Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?

Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise,

So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

The things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me: do these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,

holding a form of godliness, but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.

For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts,

From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

“Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.

“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found, and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.

“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season?

a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.

Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.

for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,

If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and doesn’t consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,

But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

Beloved, while I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I was constrained to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

Remember therefore how you have received and heard. Keep it and repent. If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you.

I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.

She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.

My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion:

Take firm hold of instruction. Don’t let her go. Keep her, for she is your life.

I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.

Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power.
