2 Timothy 4
4
1I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, # 1Ti 5:21 who will judge the living and the dead # Ac 10:42 at His appearing and His kingdom: 2Preach the word, be ready in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching. # Titus 1:13; 2:15 3For the time will come when people will not endure sound teaching, # 1Ti 1:10 but they will gather to themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, having itching ears, 4and they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn to myths. # 1Ti 1:4; 4:7 5But be self-controlled in all things, endure afflictions, # 2Ti 1:8 do the work of an evangelist, # Ac 21:8 and prove your ministry.
6For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, # Php 2:17 and the time of my departure has come. # Php 1:23 7I have fought a good fight, # 1Ti 6:12 I have finished my course, # Ac 20:24 and I have kept the faith. 8From now on a crown of righteousness is laid up for me, # Col 1:5 which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that Day, # 2Ti 1:12 and not only to me but also to all who have loved His appearing.
Personal Instructions
9Diligently try to come to me soon. # 2Ti 1:4; 4:21 10Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, # Ac 16:6; 17:1 and Titus to Dalmatia. 11Only Luke is with me. # Col 4:14 Get Mark, # Ac 12:12 and bring him with you, for he is profitable to me for the ministry. 12I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. # Ac 20:4; Eph 6:21 13When you come, bring with you the cloak that I left at Troas # Ac 16:8 with Carpus, and the books, but especially the parchments.
14Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil. # 1Ti 1:20 May the Lord reward him according to his works. # Ps 28:4 15Beware of him, for he has greatly opposed our words.
16At my first defense no one stood with me, but everyone forsook me. May it not be charged against them. # Ac 7:60 17But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear. # Ac 9:15 And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. # Ps 22:21 18The Lord will deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me for His heavenly kingdom, # Ps 121:7 to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. # Ro 11:36
Final Greetings
19Greet Priscilla and Aquila # Ac 18:2 and the household of Onesiphorus. 20Erastus remained at Corinth, # Ac 19:22 and I have left Trophimus ill in Miletus. # Ac 20:4 21Diligently try to come before winter. # 2Ti 4:9 Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
22The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. # Gal 6:18; Col 4:18; 1Ti 6:21; Titus 3:15
