2 Timothy 1:5

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,

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,

Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

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

For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

You observe days, months, seasons, and years.

If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.

Let brotherly love continue.

Is anything too hard for Yahweh? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes round, and Sarah will have a son.”

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.

Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth.

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

To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.

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

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

Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn’t impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

By awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our salvation. You who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, of those who are far away on the sea.

I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

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

He came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed; but his father was a Greek.

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

Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think about these things.

And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,

but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith,

concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

“I am a stranger and a foreigner living with you. Give me a possession of a burying-place with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.”

“Hear my prayer, Yahweh, and give ear to my cry. Don’t be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, a foreigner, as all my fathers were.

Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

Yahweh, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant girl. You have freed me from my chains.

I am your servant. Give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies.

Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.

In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, For I am your servant.

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad.”

they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.

Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.

But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it isn’t of faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius, Jason, and Sosipater, my relatives.

Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.

However, that knowledge isn’t in all men. But some, with consciousness of the idol until now, eat as of a thing sacrificed to an idol, and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

and sent Timothy, our brother and God’s servant in the Good News of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith,

to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which you have followed.

to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, didn’t receive the promise,

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

You are happy, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by Yahweh, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency? Your enemies will submit themselves to you. You will tread on their high places.”

Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted.

Turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your servant.

But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.

Listen, islands, to me. Listen, you peoples, from afar: Yahweh has called me from the womb; from the inside of my mother, he has mentioned my name.

But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.

One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.

I know, and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean of itself; except that to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

Don’t overthrow God’s work for food’s sake. All things indeed are clean, however it is evil for that man who creates a stumbling block by eating.

I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.

Now concerning things sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol’s temple, won’t his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,

far above all rule, authority, power, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come.

You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:

But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.

Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.

I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.

For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.”

Hear, Yahweh, my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips.

As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.

I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb. You are my God since my mother bore me.

Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.

I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:

The haters of Yahweh would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.

The words of king Lemuel; the revelation which his mother taught him.

Yet for all this her treacherous sister, Judah, has not returned to me with her whole heart, but only in pretense,” says Yahweh.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”

For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner.

and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.

For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

One man esteems one day as more important. Another esteems every day alike. Let each man be fully assured in his own mind.

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.

From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus.

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

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,

But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.

The secret things belong to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

My son, listen to your father’s instruction, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching:

He taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words. Keep my commandments, and live.

For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.

being approved by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the saints’ feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, and if she has diligently followed every good work.

I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day

for the truth’s sake, which remains in us, and it will be with us forever:
