2 Timothy 2 Thou therfor my sonne, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Iesus.

Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Thou therfor my sonne, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Iesus. ² And what thynges thou hast hearde of me, manye bearyng wytnes, the same delyuer to faythfull men, whiche are apte to teache other. ³ Thou therfore suffer affliccyon as a good souldyer of Iesu Christe. ⁴ No man that warreth entangleth hym selfe with worldye busynes, and that because he woulde please hym that hath chosen hym to be a souldyer. ⁵ And though a man stryue for a masterye, yet is he not crouned, except he stryue lawfullye. ⁶ The husbandman that laboureth must fyrste receyue of the frutes. ⁷ Consyder what I saye. The Lorde geueth vnderstandynge in all thinges. ⁸ Remember that Iesus Christe beynge of the sede of Dauid, rose agayne from death accordynge to my Gospell, ⁹ wherein I suffer trouble as an euyll doar, euen vnto bondes. But the worde of God was not bounde. ¹⁰ Here fore I suffre all thynges, for the electes sakes, that they myghte also obtayne the saluacyon, which is in Christe Iesus, with eternal glory. ¹¹ It is a true saiyng, yf we be deade wt hym we also shall lyue with hym. ¹² Yf we be pacyente, we shal also raygne with hym. Yf we denye hym, he also shall denye vs ¹³ Yf we beleue not yet abydeth he faythfull. He can not deny hym selfe. ¹⁴ Of these thynges put them in remembraunce, and testifye before the Lorde, that they stryue not aboute wordes: which is to no profyte, but to peruerte the hearers. ¹⁵ Studye to shewe thy selfe laudable vnto God a workeman that nedeth not to be ashamed dyuydynge the worde of truste iustelye. ¹⁶ Vnghostly and vayne voices passe ouer. For they shall encreace vnto greater vngodlynes, ¹⁷ and theyr wordes shall frete euen as doeth a cancre: of whose number is Himeneos & Phyletos: ¹⁸ which as concernyng the truethe haue erred, saiynge that the resurreccyon is past alredy, and do destroye the fayth of diuers persons. ¹⁹ But the sure grounde of God remayneth, and hath thys seale: the Lord knoweth them that are his, & let euerye man that calleth on the name of Christe departe from iniquitie. ²⁰ Notwtstandyng in a greate house are not onelye vessels of golde and of syluer: but also of woode and of earthe, some for honoure, and some vnto dyshonoure. ²¹ But yf a man purge hym self from suche felowes, he shalbe a vessell sanctyfyed vnto honoure, mete for the Lorde, & prepared vnto all good workes. ²² Lustes of youth auoyde, and folow ryghtuousnes, fayth, loue, & peace, with them that call on the Lorde with pure herte. ²³ Folyshe & vnlearned questions put from the, remembring that they do, but gendre stryfe. ²⁴ But the seruaunt of the Lorde must not stryue, but must be peasable to all men, and apte to teache, and one that can suffre ²⁵ the euyll in meakenes, and can informe them that resiste: yf that God at any tyme wyll geue them repentaunce for to know the trueth, ²⁶ that they may come to them selues agayne out of the snare of the deuyll, whiche are nowe taken of hym at hys wyll.
