1ܐܢܬ ܗܟܝܠ ܒܪܝ ܐܬܚܝܠ ܒܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
1Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܬ ܡܢܝ ܒܝܕ ܤܗܕܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܗܢܝܢ ܐܓܥܠ ܠܐܢܫܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܝܐ ܒܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܐܦ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܠܡܠܦܘ ܀
2And 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.
3ܘܤܝܒܪ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܦܠܚܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
3Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܦܠܚ ܘܡܬܦܟܪ ܒܨܒܘܬܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܕܢܫܦܪ ܠܗܘ ܡܢ ܕܓܒܝܗܝ ܀
4No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5ܘܐܢ ܡܬܟܬܫ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܬܟܠܠ ܐܢ ܒܢܡܘܤܗ ܠܐ ܡܬܟܬܫ ܀
5And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6ܠܐܟܪܐ ܕܠܐܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܗ ܕܩܕܡܐ ܡܢ ܦܐܪܘܗܝ ܢܤܬܝܒܪ ܀
6The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7ܐܤܬܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܢܬܠ ܠܟ ܡܪܢ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܒܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܀
7Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
8ܐܬܕܟܪ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܙܪܥܐ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܝܟ ܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܕܝܠܝ ܀
8Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
9ܕܒܗ ܤܒܠ ܐܢܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܤܘܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܀
9Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܡܤܝܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܓܒܝܐ ܕܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܚܝܐ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܥܡ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܀
10Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܝܬܢ ܥܡܗ ܐܦ ܥܡܗ ܢܚܐ ܀
11It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12ܘܐܢ ܢܤܝܒܪ ܐܦ ܢܡܠܟ ܥܡܗ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܟܦܘܪ ܒܗ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܢܟܦܘܪ ܒܢ ܀
12If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13ܘܐܢ ܠܐ ܢܗܝܡܢ ܒܗ ܗܘ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܗ ܡܩܘܐ ܕܢܟܦܘܪ ܓܝܪ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܀
13If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
14ܗܠܝܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܥܗܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܡܤܗܕ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܡܬܚܪܝܢ ܒܡܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܘܬܪܢ ܠܤܘܚܦܐ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܠܗܝܢ ܀
14Of 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.
15ܘܢܬܒܛܠ ܠܟ ܕܬܩܝܡ ܢܦܫܟ ܓܡܝܪܐܝܬ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܦܠܚܐ ܕܠܐ ܒܗܬܬܐ ܕܡܟܪܙ ܬܪܝܨܐܝܬ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܀
15Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16ܘܡܢ ܡܠܐ ܤܪܝܩܬܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܒܗܝܢ ܚܫܚܘ ܐܫܬܐܠ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܢܘܤܦܘܢ ܥܠ ܪܘܫܥܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܢܝܢ ܒܗܝܢ ܀
16But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17ܘܡܠܬܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܚܠܕܝܬܐ ܢܘܡܐ ܬܐܚܘܕ ܒܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܗܘܡܢܐܘܤ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܀
17And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18ܗܠܝܢ ܕܛܥܘ ܡܢ ܫܪܪܐ ܟܕ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܘܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܗܦܟܝܢ ܀
18Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19ܫܬܐܤܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܫܪܝܪܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܩܝܡܐ ܗܝ ܘܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܚܬܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܝܕܥ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܝܠܗ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܦܪܘܩ ܡܢ ܥܘܠܐ ܟܠ ܕܩܪܐ ܠܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܀
19Nevertheless 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.
20ܒܒܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܒܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܐܢܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܘ ܕܤܐܡܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܕܩܝܤܐ ܐܦ ܕܦܚܪܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܠܐܝܩܪܐ ܘܡܢܗܘܢ ܠܨܥܪܐ ܀
20But 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.
21ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܗܟܝܠ ܢܕܟܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܡܐܢܐ ܕܟܝܐ ܠܐܝܩܪܐ ܕܥܗܢ ܠܚܘܫܚܐ ܕܡܪܗ ܘܡܛܝܒ ܠܟܠ ܥܒܕ ܛܒ ܀
21If 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.
22ܡܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܕܛܠܝܘܬܐ ܥܪܘܩ ܘܗܪܛ ܒܬܪ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܘܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܚܘܒܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܥܡ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܪܝܢ ܠܡܪܢ ܒܠܒܐ ܕܟܝܐ ܀
22Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23ܚܪܝܢܐ ܤܟܠܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܠܐ ܡܪܕܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܫܬܐܠ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܓܝܪ ܕܬܟܬܘܫܐ ܡܘܠܕܝܢ ܀
23But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
24ܥܒܕܗ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܪܢ ܠܐ ܚܝܒ ܠܡܬܟܬܫܘ ܐܠܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܡܟܝܟ ܠܘܬ ܟܠܢܫ ܘܡܠܦܢ ܘܢܓܝܪܐ ܪܘܚܗ ܀
24And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25ܕܢܗܘܐ ܪܕܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܚܪܝܢ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ ܒܡܟܝܟܘܬܐ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܬܠ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܬܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܢܕܥܘܢ ܫܪܪܐ ܀
25In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26ܘܢܥܗܕܘܢ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܢܦܪܩܘܢ ܡܢ ܦܚܗ ܕܤܛܢܐ ܕܒܗ ܐܬܬܨܝܕܘ ܠܨܒܝܢܗ ܀
26And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
