2 Timothy - ch 4 v 1 - 20
- I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom:
- Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine.
- For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears:
- And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.
- But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober.
- For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand.
- I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
- As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice, which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming. Make haste to come to me quickly.
- For Demas hath left me, loving this world, and is gone to Thessalonica:
- Crescens into Galatia, Titus into Dalmatia.

- But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
- The cloak that I left at Troas, with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, especially the parchments.
- Alexander the coppersmith hath done me much evil: the Lord will reward him according to his works:
- Whom do thou also avoid, for he hath greatly withstood our words.
- At my first answer no man stood with me, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their charge.
- But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching may be accomplished, and that all the Gentiles may hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
- The Lord hath delivered me from every evil work: and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
- Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
