You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Y'shua the Mashiyach.

And the things you heard from me through many witnesses, these commit to faithful men who are able also to teach others.

And endure evils as a good soldier of Y'shua the Mashiyach.

No one who serves as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of the world, that he may please the one who enlisted him.

And if a person contends in the games, he is not crowned unless he contends according to the rules.

The farmer who labors ought first to be sustained from his fruits.

Understand what I say. Our Master will give you wisdom in everything.

Remember Y'shua the Mashiyach, who rose from the house of the dead, who is from the seed of Dawid, according to my gospel,

in which I suffer evils even to bonds, like an evildoer; but the word of Elohim is not bound.

Because of this I endure everything for the sake of the chosen, that they also may find the life that is in Y'shua the Mashiyach with glory forever.

Faithful is the word: for if we have died with him, we will also live with him;

and if we endure, we will also reign with him. But if we deny him, he also will deny us.

And if we do not believe in him, he remains in his faithfulness; for he cannot deny himself.

Keep reminding them of these things, and charge them before our Master that they not dispute with words that have no profit, to the overthrow of those who hear them.

And let it be your care to present yourself perfectly before Elohim, a worker without shame who proclaims the word of truth correctly.

And keep away from empty words in which there is no use; for they will increase still more the ungodliness of those who deal in them.

And their word will take hold like a gangrene among many. Now one of them is Hymeneus, and another Philetus,

these who have erred from the truth, saying that the resurrection of the dead has already happened, and they overturn the faith of some.

But the firm foundation of Elohim stands, and it has this seal: Master YHWH knows those who are his, and let everyone who calls on the name of Master YHWH depart from iniquity.

But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold or of silver, but also of wood and of pottery; some of them for honor, and some of them for dishonor.

If therefore anyone cleanses himself from these, he will be a pure vessel for honor, fit for the use of his master, and prepared for every good work.

Flee from all the lusts of youth, and run after righteousness and faith and love and peace, with those who call on our Master with a pure heart.

Avoid those foolish controversies that give no instruction; for you know that they generate contests.

But a servant of our Master ought not to contend, but to be mild toward everyone, and a teacher, and long-suffering in his spirit.

that he may instruct those who dispute against him with meekness, if perhaps Elohim will give them repentance and they will know the truth,

and they may recover themselves and escape from the snare of Satana, in which they have been caught for his will.
