Preach the Word

1 pI charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, qwho is to judge the living and the dead, and by rhis appearing and his kingdom: 2preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; sreprove, rebuke, and texhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 uFor the time is coming when people will not endure vsound
Or healthy
teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,
4and xwill turn away from listening to the truth and ywander off into myths. 5As for you, zalways be sober-minded, aaendure suffering, do the work of aban evangelist, acfulfill your ministry.

6For adI am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my aedeparture has come. 7 afI have fought the good fight, agI have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8Henceforth there is ahlaid up for me aithe crown of righteousness, which the Lord, ajthe righteous judge, will award to me on akthat day, and not only to me but also to all alwho have loved his appearing.

James 2:18

18But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith amapart from your works, and I will show you my faith anby my works.
