2 Timothy Chapter 4 004:001 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom: 004:002 preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.
004:003 For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts; 004:004 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables. 004:005 But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry. 004:006 For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come. 004:007 I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course.
I have kept the faith. 004:008 From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing. 004:009 Be diligent to come to me soon, 004:010 for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. 004:011 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
004:012 But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. 004:013 Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come, and the books, especially the parchments. 004:014 Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his works, 004:015 of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed our words. 004:016 At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.
004:017 But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 004:018 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom; to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. 004:019 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus. 004:020 Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.
004:021 Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers. 004:022 The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
