2 Timothy 4
4
1I solemnly charge you—in the presence of God and Messiah Yeshua, who is about to judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His Kingdom—
2proclaim the Word! Be ready when it is convenient or inconvenient. Confront, rebuke, encourage—with complete patience and instruction.
3For the time will come when they will not put up with sound instruction, but they will pile up for themselves teachers in keeping with their own desires, to have their ears tickled.
4And they will turn away from hearing the truth and wander off to myths.
5You, however, keep a clear mind in all things, withstand hardship, do the work of proclaiming the Good News, and fulfill your service.
Finishing the Fight, Receiving the Crown
6For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.
7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.
8In the future there is reserved for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not to me only, but also to everyone who has longed for His appearing.
9Do all you can to come to me quickly—
10for Demas, having loved this world, has deserted me and gone to Thessolonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.
11Luke is the only one with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
12I have sent Tychius to Ephesus.
13When you come, bring the cloak which I left with Carpus in Troas, along with the scrolls, and especially the parchments.
14Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm—the Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
15Be on guard against him too, for he vehemently opposed our message.
16At my first defense, no one stood by me; instead, they all deserted me—may it not be counted against them!
17But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be proclaimed in full measure, and all the nations might hear—and I was rescued from the lion’s mouth!
18The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and will deliver me safely into His heavenly Kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings
19Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20Erastus stayed in Corinth, and I left Trophimus sick in Miletus.
21Do all you can to come before winter. Eubulus sends you greetings, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers and sisters.
22The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.

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