2 Timothy Chapter 4 (NASB)
undefined
I solemnly charge [you] in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom:
undefined
preach the word; be ready in season [and] out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.
undefined
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but [wanting] to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,
undefined
and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
undefined
But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
undefined
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.
undefined
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith;
undefined
in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.
undefined
Make every effort to come to me soon;
undefined
for Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens [has gone] to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
undefined
Only Luke is with me. Pick up Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
undefined
But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
undefined
When you come bring the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.
undefined
Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
undefined
Be on guard against him yourself, for he vigorously opposed our teaching.
undefined
At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; may it not be counted against them.
undefined
But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fully accomplished, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was rescued out of the lion's mouth.
undefined
The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to Him [be] the glory forever and ever. Amen.
undefined
Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
undefined
Erastus remained at Corinth, but Trophimus I left sick at Miletus.
undefined
Make every effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren.
undefined
The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
