THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO TIMOTHY 4

Text size

1 I charge thee therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom ⚑

2 Preach the word be instant in season out of season reprove rebuke exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine ⚑

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers having itching ears ⚑

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables ⚑

5 But watch thou in all things endure afflictions do the work of an evangelist make full proof of thy ministry ⚑

6 For I am now ready to be offered and the time of my departure is at hand ⚑

7 I have fought a good fight I have finished my course I have kept the faith ⚑

8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord the righteous judge shall give me at that day and not to me only but unto all them also that love his appearing ⚑

9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me ⚑

10 For Demas hath forsaken me having loved this present world and is departed unto Thessalonica Crescens to Galatia Titus unto Dalmatia ⚑

11 Only Luke is with me Take Mark and bring him with thee for he is profitable to me for the ministry ⚑

12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus ⚑

13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus when thou comest bring with thee and the books but especially the parchments ⚑

14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil the Lord reward him according to his works ⚑

15 Of whom be thou ware also for he hath greatly withstood our words ⚑

16 At my first answer no man stood with me but all men forsook me I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge ⚑

17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me and strengthened me that by me the preaching might be fully known and that all the Gentiles might hear and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion ⚑

18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom to whom be glory for ever and ever Amen ⚑

19 Salute Prisca and Aquila and the household of Onesiphorus ⚑

20 Erastus abode at Corinth but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick ⚑

21 Do thy diligence to come before winter Eubulus greeteth thee and Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren ⚑

22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit Grace be with you Amen ⚑
