I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
|
|
2 Timothy 4:2
|
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
|
|
2 Timothy 4:3
|
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
|
|
2 Timothy 4:4
|
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
|
|
2 Timothy 4:5
|

|
|
2 Timothy 4:7

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
|
|
2 Timothy 4:8
|
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
|
|
2 Timothy 4:9
|
Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
|
|

|

And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
|
|
2 Timothy 4:13
|
The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.
|
|
2 Timothy 4:14
|
Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:
|
|
2 Timothy 4:15
|
Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
|
|
2 Timothy 4:16
|
At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.
|
|
2 Timothy 4:17
|
Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
|
|
2 Timothy 4:18
|
And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
|
|

Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.
|
|
2 Timothy 4:21
|
Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
|
|
2 Timothy 4:22
|
The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
