He knows you

2 Timothy 2
You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is 
in Christ Jesus.  The things which you have heard from 
me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these 
to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of 
Christ Jesus.  No soldier in active service entangles 
himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may 
please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.

Also if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not win 
the prize unless he competes according to the rules. 

The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive 
his share of the crops.

Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you 
understanding in everything.

Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, 
descendant of David, according to my gospel, for which 
I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; 
but the word of God is not imprisoned. For this reason I 
endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, 
so that they also may obtain the salvation which is in 
Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory.

It is a trustworthy statement:

For if we died with Him, 
we will also live with Him;

If we endure, we will also reign with Him;

If we deny Him, He also will deny us;

If we are faithless, He remains faithful, 
for He cannot deny Himself.

Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge them 
in the presence of God not to wrangle about words, 
which is useless and leads to the ruin of the hearers.

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a 
workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately 
handling the word of truth.  But avoid worldly and empty 
chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, and their 
talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus 
and Philetus, men who have gone astray from the truth 
saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and 
they upset the faith of some.

Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, 
having this seal, 

“The Lord knows those who are His,” and, 

“Everyone who names the name of the Lord is 
to abstain from wickedness.”

Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver 
vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and 
some to honor and some to dishonor.  Therefore, if anyone 
cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for 
honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every 
good work.

Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, 
faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord 
from a pure heart.

But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that 
they produce quarrels.

The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but 
be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged,
with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, 
if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to 
the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their 
senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having 
been held captive by him to do his will."
