2Timothy:4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I charge you 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 ; (
o .
logos )
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 you in all things ,
endure afflictions ,
do the work of an evangelist ,
make full proof of your 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 your diligence to come shortly unto me :
*
For Demas has 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 you :
for he is profitable to me for the ministry .
*
And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus .
*
The coat that I left at Troas with Carpus ,
when you come ,
bring with you ,
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 you ware also ;
for he has greatly withstood our words . (
o .
logos )
*
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 your diligence to come before winter .
Eubulus greets you ,
and Pudens ,
and Linus ,
and Claudia ,
and all the brethren .
*
The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit . (
o .
pneuma )
Grace be with you .
Amen .
