2 Timothy 4:1-4

Preach the Word

1 yI charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, zwho is to judge the living and the dead, and by aahis appearing and his kingdom: 2preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; abreprove, rebuke, and acexhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 adFor the time is coming when people will not endure aesound
Or healthy
teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,
4and agwill turn away from listening to the truth and ahwander off into myths.
