And here is 2 Timothy we are told a bit more
Timothy is exhorted again
to constancy and perseverance,
and to do the duty of a faithful servant of the Lord
in dividing the word aright,
and staying profane and vain babblings
1 Then my child,
you be empowered by grace in Messiah Yahshua (Jesus).
2 And what things you heard from me
through many witnesses,
commit these things to faithful men,
such as will be competent also to teach others.
3 Then you suffer hardship as a good soldier of Yahshua (Jesus) Messiah.
4 No one serving as a soldier
entangles himself with the affairs of this life,
so that he might please the one having enlisted him.
5 And also if anyone competes,
he is not crowned unless he competes lawfully. (according to Gods Word)
So if we study and discuss, use the word of God.
6 It is right for the laboring farmer
to partake first of the fruits.
7 Consider what I say,
for the Almighty will give you understanding in all things.
8 Remember Yahshua (Jesus) Messiah,
having been raised from the dead, of the seed of David,
according to my good news,
in which I suffer ill as an evildoer,
(I'm in jail for teaching the Bible)
but the Word of Elohim has not been bound
(by this jail cell I am in now).
10 Because of this, I endure all things
on account of the elect(people who love the Bible),
that they also may obtain salvation
in Messiah Yahshua (Jesus), with everlasting glory.
11 This is a true saying: for if we died with Him (in the Bible),
we also shall live with Him; 12 if we endure, we shall also reign with Him; if we deny Him, that One will deny us; 13 if we believe not in Him (in heaven),
that One remains faithful; He is not able to deny Himself.
14 You should keep these things in remembrance
as a testimony
before our Master
that the faithful should not argue over words
in which there is no profit,
but which are destruction
to those who listen to them.
(arguing kills christians, that is why debates were invented by satan)
15 And study
to present yourself approved to Elohim (God),
study study study
a workman unashamed (by ignorance of the Bible),
rightly dividing the Word of Truth.
(Using all the texts on every topic)
16 But shun
profane, empty babblings,
(I believe this, I believe that,
it doesn't matter what you believe,
it matters what is the real truth in the word of God)
for they will go on to more unrighteousness,
Of Hymenaeus and Philetus
(who always were Posturing, speculating and philosophizing on everything)
17 and their word (not from the Bible) will eat like a canker,
of whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
18 who missed the mark
concerning the truth,
saying the resurrection already has come,
and overturn the faith of some.
The foundation (Bible) of the Lord is sure
19 However, the foundation of Elohim(God) stands firm,
having this seal,
YAHWEH knew the ones being His;
also, Let everyone naming the name of Messiah
depart from unrighteousness (STOP SINNING)
(Stop breaking the Commandments for
sin is the transgression of the law). *
* (Seems like "Once saved always saved
was an ongoing problem with the apostates
even in Paul's time." )
20 But in a great house (God's church)
not only are there vessels of gold and silver,
but also of wood and of earth,
and some to honor and some to dishonor.
21 Then if anyone purifies himself
(sanctifies and puts away sin)
from these,
he will be a vessel to honor,
having been sanctified
and made useful
to the Master,
having been prepared
to every good work.
He is taught whereof to beware,
and what to follow after,
and in what manner
the servant of the Lord
ought to behave himself
22 But flee youthful lusts (stop it)
and pursue righteousness,
faith, love, peace,
with the ones calling (praying) on our Master
out of a pure heart.
23 Keep away from foolish disputes
which do not educate,
knowing that they generate quarrels.
(Trolls are satans invention to kill)
24 But a servant of Elohim
ought not to quarrel,
but to be gentle towards all,
apt at teaching,
patient,
25 so that he may discipline gently
those who argue against him,
if perhaps Elohim may give them repentance
for them to know the truth,
26 and come to themselves
and be saved from the trap of Satan
by whom they have been drawn
to satan's will to argue and resist the Bible.
