1 I command you therefore before God and Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his Kingdom: NHEB — 2Timothy 4:1
2 preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:2
3 For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts; NHEB — 2Timothy 4:3
4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to myths. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:4
5 But you be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:5
6 For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:6
7 I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:7
8 From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:8
9 Be diligent to come to me soon, NHEB — 2Timothy 4:9
10 for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:10
11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:11
12 But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:12
13 Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come, and the books, especially the parchments. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:13
14 Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his works, NHEB — 2Timothy 4:14
15 of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed our words. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:15
16 At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:16
17 But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the non-Jewish people might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:17

19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:19
20 Erastus remained at Corinth, and I left Trophimus at Miletus, ill. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:20
21 Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:21
22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you. NHEB — 2Timothy 4:22
