II TIMOTHY ยท Chapter 4
4:1 I charge you therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who
shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;
reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
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;
4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be
turned unto fables.
4:5 But watch you in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of
an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry.
4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure
is at hand.
4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept
the faith:
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.
4:9 Do your diligence to come shortly unto me:
4:10 For Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and
is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
4:11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you: for he
is profitable to me for the ministry.
4:12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
4:13 The coat that I left at Troas with Carpus, when you come, bring
with you, and the books, but especially the parchments.
4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him
according to his works:
4:15 Of whom be you ware also; for he has greatly withstood our words.
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.
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.
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.
4:19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
4:20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum
sick.
4:21 Do your diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and
Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
4:22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be
with you. Amen.
