Compare: 2 Timothy 2

ASV

Thou therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

ASV

And the things which thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

ASV

Suffer hardship with [me], as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

ASV

No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of [this] life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier.

ASV

And if also a man contend in the games, he is not crowned, except he have contended lawfully.

ASV

The husbandman that laboreth must be the first to partake of the fruits.

ASV

Consider what I say; for the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things.

ASV

Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel:

ASV

wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.

ASV

Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

ASV

Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him:

ASV

if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us:

ASV

if we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself.

ASV

Of these things put them in remembrance, charging [them] in the sight of the Lord, that they strive not about words, to no profit, to the subverting of them that hear.

ASV

Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth.

ASV

But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness,

ASV

and their word will eat as doth a gangrene: of whom is Hymenæus and Philetus;

ASV

men who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some.

ASV

Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.

ASV

Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some unto honor, and some unto dishonor.

ASV

If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, meet for the master’s use, prepared unto every good work.

ASV

But flee youthful lusts, and follow after righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

ASV

But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes.

ASV

And the Lord’s servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing,

ASV

in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth,

ASV

and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him unto his will.
