      | ¶ | I charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; | |
 | Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. | ||
| For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; | ||
| And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. | ||
| But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. | ||
| ¶ | For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. | |
| I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith: | ||
| Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. | ||
 | ¶ | Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: | |
 | For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. | ||
| Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. | ||
| And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. | ||
| The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring [with thee], and the books, [but] especially the parchments. | ||
| Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: | ||
| Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words. | ||
| 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. | ||
| ¶ | 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. | |
| And the Lord shall deliver 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. | |
| Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick. | ||
| Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. | ||
| ¶ | The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with thy spirit. Grace [be] with you. Amen. [[[The second [epistle] unto Timotheus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians, was written from Rome, when Paul was brought before Nero the second time.]]] |
