2

Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

2

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

2

Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

2

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

2

Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

2

Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;

2

Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

2

In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

2

Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

2

To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

2

That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

2

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

2

That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.

2

But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

2

And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

2

In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

2

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

2

But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

2

Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

2

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

2

But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

2

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

2

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

2

And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

2

But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

2

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2

Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

2

If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

2

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

2

It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
