2 Timothy 4:1-5

Preach the Word

1 ^aI charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, ^bwho is to judge the living and the dead, and by ^chis appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; ^dreprove, rebuke, and ^eexhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 ^fFor the time is coming when people will not endure ^gsound ^{▼▼Or healthy} teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and ⁱwill turn away from listening to the truth and ^jwander off into myths. 5 As for you, ^kalways be sober-minded, ^lendure suffering, do the work of ^man evangelist, ⁿfulfill your ministry.
