2 Timothy 4
4
1I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom:
2Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine.
3For 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:
4And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.
5But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober.
6For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand.
7I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
8As 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.
9For Demas hath left me, loving this world, and is gone to Thessalonica:
10Crescens into Galatia, Titus into Dalmatia.
11Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
12But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
13The cloak that I left at Troas, with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, especially the parchments.
14Alexander the coppersmith hath done me much evil: the Lord will reward him according to his works:
15Whom do thou also avoid, for he hath greatly withstood our words.
16At my first answer no man stood with me, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their charge.
17But 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.
18The 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.
19Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20Erastus remained at Corinth. And Trophimus I left sick at Miletus.
21Make haste to come before winter Eubulus and Pudens, and Linus and Claudia, and all the brethren, salute thee.
22The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

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.
