24 December - 2 Timothy 1-4

Jude Sat Nov 24, 2018 11:14 pm

My soul doth magnify my YAH, and my spirit hath rejoiced in EL my Saviour; For HE that is mighty hath done to me great things; and Holy is HIS Name. Now unto HIM who is ever present in my helpless estate; who is able to keep me from falling and to present me faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding joy, unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise EL our Saviour be honour and glory and majesty, dominion and power both now and for ever Halleluyah!

2 TIMOTHY 1

1Sha’ul, an emissary of יהושע Messiah by the desire of Elohim, according to the promise of life which is in Messiah יהושע,

2to Timothy, my beloved son: Favour, compassion, peace from Elohim the Father, and Messiah יהושע our Master.

3I thank Elohim, whom I serve with a clear conscience, as my forefathers did, as I unceasingly remember you in my prayers night and day,

4longing to see you, as I remember your tears, so that I might be filled with joy.

5For I recollect the sincere belief which is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunike, and I am persuaded is in you too.

6For this reason I remind you to stir up the gift of Elohim which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

7For Elohim has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and of love and of self-control.

8So do not be ashamed of the witness of our Master, nor of me His prisoner, but suffer hardship with me for the Good News according to the power of Elohim,

9who has saved us and called us with a set-apart calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and favour which was given to us in Messiah יהושע before times of old,

10but now revealed by the appearing of our Saviour יהושע Messiah, who indeed abolished death and brought life and incorruptibility to light through the Good News,

11for which I was appointed a proclaimer, and an emissary, and a teacher of the gentiles.

12For this reason I also suffer these matters, but I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to watch over that which I have entrusted to Him until that Day.

13Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in belief and love which are in Messiah יהושע.

14Watch over the good deposit that was entrusted to you, by the Set-apart Spirit dwelling in us.

15You know this, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phugellos and Hermogenes.

16The Master grant compassion unto the household of Onesiphoros, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,

17but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me.

18The Master grant to him to find compassion from the Master in that Day. And you know very well how many ways he attended to me at Ephesos.

2 TIMOTHY 2

1You then, my son, be strong in the favour that is in Messiah יהושע.

2And what you have heard from me among many witnesses, entrust these to trustworthy men who shall be competent to teach others as well.

3Suffer hardship with us as a good soldier of יהושע Messiah.

4No one serving as a soldier gets involved in the affairs of this life, in order to please only him who enlisted him as a soldier.

5And if anyone competes in a game, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.

6The hard-working farmer ought to be first to receive his share of the crops.

7Think over what I say, for the Master shall give you understanding into all this.

8Remember that יהושע Messiah, of the seed of Dawiḏ, was raised from the dead according to my Good News,

9for which I suffer hardship, as a criminal, unto chains, but the Word of Elohim is not chained.

10So I endure through it all for the sake of the chosen, so that they too obtain deliverance which is in Messiah יהושע with everlasting esteem.

11Trustworthy is the word: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him.

12If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also shall deny us.

13If we are not trustworthy, He remains trustworthy, it is impossible for Him to deny Himself.

14Remind them of this, earnestly witnessing before the Master, not to wage verbal battles – which is useless – to the overthrowing of the hearers.

15Do your utmost to present yourself approved to Elohim, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly handling the Word of Truth.

16But keep away from profane, empty babblings, for they go on to more wickedness,

17and their word shall eat its way like gangrene. Humenaios and Philetos are of this sort,

18who have missed the goal concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and overthrow the belief of some.

19However, the solid foundation of Elohim stands firm, having this seal, “יהוה knows those who are His,” Bem. 16:5 and, “Let everyone who names the Name of Messiah turn away from unrighteous-ness.”

20But in a large house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some unto value and some unto no value.

21If, then, anyone cleanses himself from these matters, he shall be a vessel unto value, having been set apart, of good use to the Master, having been prepared for every good work.

22And flee from the lusts of youth, but pursue righteousness, belief, love, peace with those calling on the Master out of a clean heart.

23But refuse foolish and stupid questions, knowing that they breed quarrels.

24And a servant of the Master should not quarrel but be gentle towards all, able to teach, patient when wronged,

25in meekness instructing those who are in opposition, lest somehow Elohim gives them repentance unto a thorough knowledge of the truth,

26and they come to their senses, out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his desire.

2 TIMOTHY 3

1But know this, that in the last days hard times shall come.

2For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, thankless, wrong-doers,

3unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, haters of good,

4betrayers, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of Elohim,

5having a form of reverencea but denying its power. And turn away from these!

6For among them are those who creep into households and captivate silly women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

7always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8And as Yoḥane and Mamrĕ opposed Mosheh, so do these also oppose the truth – men of corrupt minds, found worthless concerning the belief;

9but they shall not go on further, for their folly shall be obvious to all, as also that of those men became.

10But you did closely follow my teaching, the way of life, the purpose, the belief, the patience, the love, the endurance,

11the persecutions, the sufferings, which came to me at Antioch, at Ikonion, and at Lustra – what persecutions I bore. Yet out of them all the Master delivered me.

12And indeed, all those wishing to live reverently in Messiah יהושע, shall be persecuted.a

13But evil men and impostors shall go on to the worse,a leading astray and being led astray.

14But you, stay in what you have learned and trusted, having known from whom you have learned,

15and that from a babe you have known the Set-apart Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for deliverance through belief in Messiah יהושע.

16All Scripture is breathed by Elohim and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for setting straight, for instruction in righteousness,

17that the man of Elohim might be fitted, equipped for every good work.

2 TIMOTHY 4

1In the sight of Elohim and the Master יהושע Messiah, who shall judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His reign, I earnestly charge you:

2Proclaim the Word! Be urgent in season, out of season. Reprove,a warn, appeal, with all patience and teaching.

3For there shall be a time when they shall not bear sound teaching, but according to their own desires, they shall heap up for themselves teachers tickling the ear,a

4and they shall indeed turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to myths.

5But you be sober in all matters, suffer hardships, do the work of an evangelist, accomplish your service completely.

6For I am already being poured out, and the time of my departure has arrived.

7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have guarded the belief.

8For the rest, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Master, the righteous Judge, shall give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all those loving His appearing.

9Do your best to come to me soon,

10for Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and went to Thessalonike, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

11Luke alone is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is of good use to me for service.

12And Tuchikos I have sent to Ephesos.

13Bring the cloak that I left with Karpos at Troas when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.

14Alexander the coppersmith did many evils to me. The Master shall repay him according to his works.

15You, too, beware of him, for he strongly opposed our words.

16At my first defence no one stood with me, but all forsook me. Let it not be held against them.

17But the Master stood with me and did strengthen me, so that through me the preaching might be completely accomplished, and that all the gentiles should hear. And I was rescued out of the lion’s mouth.

18And the Master shall rescue me from every wicked work and save me for His heavenly reign. To Him be esteem forever and ever. Amĕn!

19Greet Prisca and Aqulas, and the house of Onesiphoros.

20Ěrastos stayed in Corinth, but I left Trophimos sick in Miletos.

21Do your best to come before winter. Eubulos greets you, and Pudes, and Linos, and Klaudia, and all the brothers.

22The Master יהושע Messiah be with your spirit. Favour be with you. Amĕn.
