2 Timothy 2
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus: | Tu ergo fili mi, confortare in gratia, quae est in Christo Iesu: |
| 2 | And the things which thou hast heard of me by many witnesses, the same commend to faithful men, who shall be fit to teach others also. | et quae audisti a me per multos testes, haec commenda fidelibus hominibus, qui idonei erant et alios docere. |
| 3 | Labour as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. | Labora sicut bonus miles Christi Iesu. |
| 4 | No man, being a soldier to God, entangleth himself with secular businesses; that he may please him to whom he hath engaged himself. | Nemo militans Deo implicat se negotiis saecularibus: ut ei placeat, cui se probavit. |
| 5 | For he also that striveth for the mastery, is not crowned, except he strive lawfully. | Nam et qui certat in agone, non coronatur nisi legitime certaverit. |
| 6 | The husbandman, that laboureth, must first partake of the fruits. | Laborantem agricolam oportet primum de fructibus percipere. |
| 7 | Understand what I say: for the Lord will give thee in all things understanding. | Intellige quae dico: dabit enim tibi Dominus in omnibus intellectum. |
| 8 | Be mindful that the Lord Jesus Christ is risen again from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel. | Memor esto Dominum Iesum Christum resurrexisse a mortuis ex semine David, secundum Evangelium meum, |
| 9 | Wherein I labour even unto bands, as an evildoer; but the word of God is not bound. | in quo laboro usque ad vincula, quasi male operans: sed verbum Dei non est alligatum. |
| 10 | Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation, which is in Christ Jesus, with heavenly glory. | Ideo omnia sustineo propter electos, ut et ipsi salutem consequantur, quae est in Christo Iesu, cum gloria caelesti. |
| 11 | A faithful saying: for if we be dead with him, we shall live also with him. | Fidelis sermo: nam si commortui sumus, et convivemus: |
| 12 | If we suffer, we shall also reign with him. If we deny him, he will also deny us. | si sustinebimus, et conregnabimus: si negaverimus, et ille negabit nos: |
| 13 | If we believe not, he continueth faithful, he can not deny himself. | si non credimus, ille fidelis permanet, negare seipsum non potest. |
| 14 | Of these things put them in mind, charging them before the Lord. Contend not in words, for it is to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. | Haec commone, testificans coram Domino. Noli contendere verbis: ad nihil enim utile est, nisi ad subversionem audientium. |
| 15 | Carefully study to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. | Sollicite cura teipsum probabilem exhibere Deo, operarium inconfusibilem, recte tractantem verbum veritatis. |
| 16 | But shun profane and vain babblings: for they grow much towards ungodliness. | Profana autem et vaniloquia devita: multum enim proficiunt ad impietatem: |
| 17 | And their speech spreadeth like a canker: of whom are Hymeneus and Philetus: | et sermo eorum ut cancer serpit: ex quibus est Hymenaeus et Philetus, |
| 18 | Who have erred from the truth, saying, that the resurrection is past already, and have subverted the faith of some. | qui a veritate exciderunt, dicentes resurrectionem esse iam factam, et subverterunt quorumdam fidem. |
| 19 | But the sure foundation of God standeth firm, having this seal: the Lord knoweth who are his; and let every one depart from iniquity who nameth the name of the Lord. | Sed firmum fundamentum Dei stat, habens signaculum hoc: cognovit Dominus qui sunt eius, et discedat ab iniquitate omnis qui nominat nomen Domini. |
| 20 | But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and earth: and some indeed unto honour, but some unto dishonour. | In magna autem domo non solum sunt vasa aurea, et argentea, sed et lignea, et fictilia: et quaedam quidem in honorem, quaedam autem in contumeliam. |
| 21 | If any man therefore shall cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified and profitable to the Lord, prepared unto every good work. | Si quis ergo emundaverit se ab istis, erit vas in honorem sanctificatum, et utile Domino ad omne opus bonum paratum. |
| 22 | But flee thou youthful desires, and pursue justice, faith, charity, and peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. | Iuvenilia autem desideria fuge, sectare vero iustitiam, fidem, spem, caritatem, et pacem cum iis qui invocant Dominum de corde puro. |
| 23 | And avoid foolish and unlearned questions, knowing that they beget strifes. | Stultas autem et sine disciplina quaestiones devita: sciens quia generant lites. |
| 24 | But the servant of the Lord must not wrangle: but be mild towards all men, apt to teach, patient, | Servum autem Domini non oportet litigare: sed mansuetum esse ad omnes, docibilem, patientem, |
| 25 | With modesty admonishing them that resist the truth: if peradventure God may give them repentance to know the truth, | cum modestia corripientem eos qui resistunt veritati, nequando Deus det illis poenitentiam ad cognoscendam veritatem, |
| 26 | And they may recover themselves from the snares of the devil, by whom they are held captive at his will. | et resipiscant a diaboli laqueis, a quo captivi tenentur ad ipsius voluntatem. |
