2 Timothy 4:1
I do fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge living and dead at his manifestation and his reign--
2 Timothy 4:2
preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching,
2 Timothy 4:3
for there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers--itching in the hearing,
2 Timothy 4:4
and indeed, from the truth the hearing they shall turn away, and to the fables they shall be turned aside.
2 Timothy 4:5
And thou--watch in all things; suffer evil; do the work of one proclaiming good news; of thy ministration make full assurance,
2 Timothy 4:6
for I am already being poured out, and the time of my release hath arrived;
2 Timothy 4:7
the good strife I have striven, the course I have finished, the faith I have kept,
2 Timothy 4:8
henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of the righteousness that the Lord--the Righteous Judge--shall give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving his manifestation.
2 Timothy 4:9
Be diligent to come unto me quickly,
2 Timothy 4:10
for Demas forsook me, having loved the present age, and went on to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia,
2 Timothy 4:11
Lukas only is with me; Markus having taken, bring with thyself, for he is profitable to me for ministration;
2 Timothy 4:12
and Tychicus I sent to Ephesus;
2 Timothy 4:13
the cloak that I left in Troas with Carpus, coming, bring thou and the books--especially the parchments.
2 Timothy 4:14
Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil; may the Lord repay to him according to his works,
2 Timothy 4:15
of whom also do thou beware, for greatly hath he stood against our words;
2 Timothy 4:16
in my first defence no one stood with me, but all forsook me, (may it not be reckoned to them!)
2 Timothy 4:17
and the Lord stood by me, and did strengthen me, that through me the preaching might be fully assured, and all the nations might hear, and I was freed out of the mouth of a lion,
2 Timothy 4:18
and the Lord shall free me from every evil work, and shall save me --to his heavenly kingdom; to whom is the glory to the ages of the ages! Amen.
2 Timothy 4:19
Salute Prisca and Aquilas, and Onesiphorus' household;
2 Timothy 4:20
Erastus did remain in Corinth, and Trophimus I left in Miletus infirm;
2 Timothy 4:21
be diligent to come before winter. Salute thee doth Eubulus, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
2 Timothy 4:22
The Lord Jesus Christ is with thy spirit; the grace is with you! Amen.
