2 Timothy

Chapters: 1 2 3 4

4:1
 Before God and before Christ Jesus who is to be judge of the living and the dead, I charge you, in the name of his appearing and of his kingdom:

4:2
 proclaim the message and, welcome or unwelcome, insist on it. Refute falsehood, correct error, give encouragement -- but do all with patience and with care to instruct.

4:3
 The time is sure to come when people will not accept sound teaching, but their ears will be itching for anything new and they will collect themselves a whole series of teachers according to their own tastes;

4:4
 and then they will shut their ears to the truth and will turn to myths.

4:5
 But you must keep steady all the time; put up with suffering; do the work of preaching the gospel; fulfil the service asked of you.

4:6
 As for me, my life is already being poured away as a libation, and the time has come for me to depart.

4:7
 I have fought the good fight to the end; I have run the race to the finish; I have kept the faith;

4:8
 all there is to come for me now is the crown of uprightness which the Lord, the upright judge, will give to me on that Day; and not only to me but to all those who have longed for his appearing.

4:9
 Make every effort to come and see me as soon as you can.

4:10
 As it is, Demas has deserted me for love of this life and gone to Thessalonica, Crescens has gone to Galatia and Titus to Dalmatia;

4:11
 only Luke is with me. Bring Mark with you; I find him a useful helper in my work.

4:12
 I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

4:13
 When you come, bring the cloak I left with Carpus in Troas, and the scrolls, especially the parchment ones.

4:14
 Alexander the coppersmith has done me a lot of harm; the Lord will repay him as his deeds deserve.

4:15
 Be on your guard against him yourself, because he has been bitterly contesting everything that we say.

4:16
 The first time I had to present my defence, no one came into court to support me. Every one of them deserted me -- may they not be held accountable for it.

4:17
 But the Lord stood by me and gave me power, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed for all the gentiles to hear; and so I was saved from the lion's mouth.

4:18
 The Lord will rescue me from all evil attempts on me, and bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

4:19
 Greetings to Prisca and Aquila, and the family of Onesiphorus.

4:20
 Erastus stayed behind at Corinth, and I left Trophimus ill at Miletus.

4:21
 Make every effort to come before the winter. Greetings to you from Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, Claudia and all the brothers.

4:22
 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
