2Timothy 4

1 I charge [thee] in the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:ASV — 2Timothy 4:1

2 preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.ASV — 2Timothy 4:2

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

4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables.ASV — 2Timothy 4:4

5 But be thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry.ASV — 2Timothy 4:5

6 For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure is come.ASV — 2Timothy 4:6

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

8 henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all them that have loved his appearing.ASV — 2Timothy 4:8

9 Give diligence to come shortly unto me:ASV — 2Timothy 4:9

10 for Demas forsook me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.ASV — 2Timothy 4:10

11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee; for he is useful to me for ministering.ASV — 2Timothy 4:11

12 But Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.ASV — 2Timothy 4:12

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

14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord will render to him according to his works:ASV — 2Timothy 4:14

15 of whom do thou also beware; for he greatly withstood our words.ASV — 2Timothy 4:15

16 At my first defence no one took my part, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their account.ASV — 2Timothy 4:16

17 But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that through me the message might me fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.ASV — 2Timothy 4:17

18 The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] the glory forever and ever. Amen.ASV — 2Timothy 4:18

19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.ASV — 2Timothy 4:19

20 Erastus remained at Corinth: but Trophimus I left at Miletus sick.ASV — 2Timothy 4:20

21 Give diligence to come before winter. Eubulus saluteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.ASV — 2Timothy 4:21

22 The Lord be with thy spirit. Grace be with you.ASV — 2Timothy 4:22
