2 Timothy 1:14

For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith,

“As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says Yahweh. “My Spirit who is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your offspring, nor out of the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,” says Yahweh, “from now on and forever.”

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances and do them.

And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”

Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.

You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.

Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Wine is a mocker and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,

Let brotherly love continue.

Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,

As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

“When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.

However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.

But shun empty chatter, for it will go further in ungodliness,

Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously”?

And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.

Therefore let them also who suffer according to the will of God in doing good entrust their souls to him, as to a faithful Creator.

Don’t be among ones drinking too much wine, or those who gorge themselves on meat:

Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;

Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.

For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.

You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.

But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person.

but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.

Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords.

but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;

but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house. We are his house, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

We are of God. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not of God doesn’t listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

But he spoke of the temple of his body.

For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.

This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living revelations to give to us,

“You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.

knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.

In him you also, having heard the word of the truth, the Good News of your salvation—in whom, having also believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,

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.

instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age;

Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,

For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.

If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive; for it doesn’t see him and doesn’t know him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.

But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward. But if not of my own will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.

Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.

but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—

in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.

Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,

and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for God’s Kingdom who are of the circumcision, men who have been a comfort to me.

But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak: not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts.

Don’t quench the Spirit.

according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is 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.

Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently,

I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
