2 Timothy 4

CHAPTER 4 Preach the Word

1 [²testify ³then ¹I] in the presence of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, of the one being about to judge the living and the dead, according to his grandeur and his kingdom. 2 Proclaim the word! Attend opportunely and inopportunely! Reprove! Reproach! Comfort in all long-suffering and teaching! 3 For there will be a time when [³healthy ⁴teaching ¹they will not ²endure], but according to [²desires ¹their own ⁴to themselves ³they will accumulate] teachers tickling the hearing. 4 And from indeed the truth, the one hearing, they shall turn away, [³unto ¹and ⁴the ⁵fables ²they shall be turned aside]. 5 But you be sober in all things! Suffer hardships! [²the work ¹Do] of an evangelist! Of your service have full assurance!

Paul's Struggle

6 For I already am offered as a libation, and the time of my separation stands by. 7 The [²struggle ¹good] I have struggled; the race I have finished; the belief I have kept. 8 Remaining reserved for me is the [²of righteousness ¹crown], which [⁶will recompense ⁷to me ¹the ²Lord ⁸in ⁹that ¹⁰day ³the ⁴righteous ⁵judge]; [²not ³only ¹and] to me, but also to all the ones loving his grandeur. 9 Hurry to come to me quickly! 10 for Demas abandoned me, having loved the present eon, and is gone to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. 11 Luke is alone with me. Having taken up Mark, bring him with yourself, for he is useful to me in service! 12 And Tychicus I sent to Ephesus. 13 The hooded cloak which I left in Troas with Carpus, when coming bring, and the scrolls, especially the parchments! 14 Alexander the brazier [²many ⁴against me ³bad things ¹demonstrated]; may [³render ⁴to him ¹the ²Lord] according to his works-- 15 the one whom you also watch out for! for exceedingly he has opposed our words. 16 In my first defense no one came together with me, but all abandoned me. [²not ⁴against them ¹May it ³be imputed]. 17 But the Lord stood by me, and empowered me, that through me the proclamation should be fully assured, and [⁴should hear ¹all ²the ³nations]. And I was rescued from the mouth of the lion. 18 And [³shall rescue ⁴me ¹the ²Lord] from every [²work ¹evil], and shall preserve me for [³kingdom ¹his ²heavenly]; to whom be the glory into the eons of the eons. Amen. 19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus! 20 Erastus stayed in Corinth, but Trophimus I left in Miletus sick. 21 Hurry before winter to come! [²greets ³you ¹Eubulus], and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and [²the ³brethren ¹all]. 22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Favor be with you. Amen.
