Well-known verses in 2 Timothy
And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
