Gen Z: 2 Timothy 2
1Yo, my dude, stay strong in that grace from Christ Jesus.
2And all the stuff you've heard from me, pass that on to the real ones who can teach others too.
3So, keep it tough, like a good soldier for Jesus Christ, no cap.
4No soldier gets caught up in the drama of life; they gotta please the one who picked them to fight.
5If you're going for the win, you gotta play by the rules to get that crown.
6The farmer putting in the work gets first dibs on the harvest, fr.
7Think about what I’m saying; may the Lord drop some wisdom on you.
8Don’t forget, Jesus Christ, from David’s fam, came back to life, just like I said in my gospel.
9I’m facing mad struggles like a criminal, but God’s word is never locked up.
10So, I’m grinding through everything for the chosen ones, so they can snag that salvation in Christ Jesus and eternal glory.
11It's a real talk moment: if we vibe with him in death, we gonna live with him too, no cap.
12If we take the heat, we gonna reign with him; but if we ghost him, he gonna ghost us back.
13Even if we doubt, he still stays loyal; he ain't about to deny himself, periodt.
14Remind them of this stuff, like, for real—tell them not to waste time on pointless chatter that doesn’t help, just messes with the listeners.
15Study up so you can flex for God, a worker who’s not embarrassed, splitting the truth like a pro.
16But dip from all that empty talk; it just leads to more drama and bad vibes.
17Their words are like a disease, eating away—think Hymeneus and Philetus.
18They tripped up on the truth, saying the resurrection's already happened and messing up some people's faith.
19But for real, God’s foundation is solid, with this seal: he knows who’s his. And everyone calling on Christ should bounce from sin.
20In a big crib, there’s not just gold and silver stuff, but also wood and dirt stuff; some are for honor, some for dishonor.
21If a dude cleans up his act, he’s gonna be a total vibe, set apart and ready for the big guy's work, fr.
22Dip from those young temptations: chase after righteousness, faith, love, and peace with the homies who call on the Lord with a pure heart, no cap.
23Avoid the dumb and clueless questions, fam; they just start drama, periodt.
24The Lord’s servant shouldn’t be beefing; just keep it chill with everyone, teachable and patient, you feel?
25Gently school those who don’t get it; maybe God will help them see the truth, no cap.
26So they can bounce back from the devil’s traps, since he’s got them on lock, for real.
