Book 55 2 Timothy Chapter 004
  | |
| 004:001 | 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;   |
| 004:002 | Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.   |
| 004:003 | 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;   |
| 004:004 | And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.   |
| 004:005 | But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.   |
| 004:006 | For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.   |
| 004:007 | I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:   |
| 004:008 | 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.   |
| 004:009 | Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:   |
| 004:010 | For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.   |
| 004:011 | Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.   |
| 004:012 | And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.   |
| 004:013 | The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.   |
| 004:014 | Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:   |
| 004:015 | Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.   |
| 004:016 | 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.   |
| 004:017 | 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.   |
| 004:018 | 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.   |
| 004:019 | Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.   |
| 004:020 | Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.   |
| 004:021 | Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.   |
| 004:022 | The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. |
