2Timothy 4

1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;WBS — 2Timothy 4:1

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.WBS — 2Timothy 4:2

3 For the time will come, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts will they multiply to themselves teachers, having itching ears;WBS — 2Timothy 4:3

4 And they will turn away their ears from the truth, and will be turned to fables.WBS — 2Timothy 4:4

5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.WBS — 2Timothy 4:5

6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.WBS — 2Timothy 4:6

7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:WBS — 2Timothy 4:7

8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me at that day: and not to me only, but to all them also that love his appearing.WBS — 2Timothy 4:8

9 Do thy diligence to come shortly to me:WBS — 2Timothy 4:9

10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and hath departed to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.WBS — 2Timothy 4:10

11 Luke only is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.WBS — 2Timothy 4:11

12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.WBS — 2Timothy 4:12

13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.WBS — 2Timothy 4:13

14 Alexander the copper-smith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:WBS — 2Timothy 4:14

15 Of whom be thou aware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.WBS — 2Timothy 4:15

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.WBS — 2Timothy 4:16

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.WBS — 2Timothy 4:17

18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me to his heavenly kingdom; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.WBS — 2Timothy 4:18

19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.WBS — 2Timothy 4:19

20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus I have left at Miletum sick.WBS — 2Timothy 4:20

21 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.WBS — 2Timothy 4:21

22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.WBS — 2Timothy 4:22
