“Preach the Word”

1 aI solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to bjudge the living and the dead, and by His cappearing and His kingdom: 2preach dthe word; be ready in season and out of season; ereprove, rebuke, exhort, with ▼
▼ Lit all
great gpatience and instruction. 3For hthe time will come when they will not endure isound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4and jwill turn away their ears from the truth and kwill turn aside to myths. 5But you, lbe sober in all things, mendure hardship, do the work of an nevangelist, fulfill your oministry.

6For I am already being ppoured out as a drink offering, and the time of qmy departure has come. 7 rI have fought the good fight, I have finished sthe course, I have kept tthe faith; 8in the future there uis laid up for me vthe crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on wthat day; and not only to me, but also to xall who have loved His yappearing.

Personal Concerns

9 zMake every effort to come to me soon; 10for aaDemas, having loved abthis present ▼
▼ Or age
world, has deserted me and gone to adThessalonica; Crescens has gone to ▼
▼ One early ms reads Gaul
 , afGalatia, agTitus to Dalmatia. 11 ahOnly aiLuke is with me. Pick up ajMark and bring him with you, akfor he is useful to me for service. 12But alTychicus I have sent to amEphesus. 13When you come bring the cloak which I left at anTroas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments. 14 aoAlexander the coppersmith did me much harm; apthe Lord will repay him according to his deeds. 15Be on guard against him yourself, for he vigorously opposed our ▼
▼ Lit words
teaching.

16At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; armay it not be counted against them. 17But the Lord stood with me and asstrengthened me, so that through me atthe proclamation might ▼
▼ Or be fulfilled
be avfully accomplished, and that all awthe Gentiles might hear; and I was axrescued out of aythe lion’s mouth. 18The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will ▼
▼ Or save me for
 , babring me safely to His bbheavenly kingdom; bcto ▼
▼ Lit Whom
Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

19Greet Prisca and beAquila, and bfthe household of Onesiphorus. 20 bgErastus remained at bhCorinth, but biTrophimus I left sick at bjMiletus. 21 bkMake every effort to come before blwinter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren.

22 bmThe Lord be with your spirit. bnGrace be with you.
