2 Timothy 2:11-19

¹¹ This is a faithful saying:

      For if we died with Him,
We shall also live with Him.

¹² If we endure,
We shall also reign with Him.
      If we deny Him,
He also will deny us.

¹³ If we are faithless,
He remains faithful;
      He cannot deny Himself.

Approved and Disapproved Workers

¹⁴ Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers.

¹⁵ Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

¹⁶ But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness.

¹⁷ And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort,

¹⁸ who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some.

¹⁹ Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity."

Matthew 24:34-37

³⁴ Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.

³⁵ Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

No One Knows the Day or Hour

³⁶ "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

³⁷ But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

Matthew 24:42-44

⁴² Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.

⁴³ But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.

⁴⁴ Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
