2Timothy:4:1-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
