* I charge (5736 ) thee therefore before God , and the Lord Jesus Christ , who shall (5723 ) judge (5721 ) the quick (5723 ) and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom ; * Preach (5657 ) the word ; be instant (5628 ) in season , out of season ; reprove (5657 ), rebuke (5657 ), exhort (5657 ) with all longsuffering and doctrine . * For the time will come (5704 ) when they will not endure (5695 ) sound (5723 ) doctrine ; but after their own lusts shall they heap (5692 ) to themselves teachers , having itching (5746 ) ears ; * And they shall turn away (5692 ) their ears from the truth , and shall be turned (5691 ) unto fables . * But watch (5720 ) thou in all things , endure afflictions (5657 ), do (5657 ) the work of an evangelist , make full proof (5657 ) of thy ministry . * For I am now ready to be offered (5743 ), and the time of my departure is at hand (5758 ). * I have fought (5766 ) a good fight , I have finished (5758 ) my course , I have kept (5758 ) the faith : * Henceforth there is laid up (5736 ) for me a crown of righteousness , which the Lord , the righteous judge , shall give (5692 ) me at that day : and not to me only , but unto all them also that love (5761 ) his appearing . * Do thy diligence (5657 ) to come (5629 ) shortly unto me : * For Demas hath forsaken (5627 ) me , having loved (5660 ) this present world , and is departed (5675 ) unto Thessalonica ; Crescens to Galatia , Titus unto Dalmatia . * Only Luke is (5748 ) with me . Take (5631 ) Mark , and bring him (5720 ) with thee : for he is (5748 ) profitable to me for the ministry . * And Tychicus have I sent (5656 ) to Ephesus . * The cloke that I left (5627 ) at Troas with Carpus , when thou comest (5740 ), bring (5720 ) with thee , and the books , but especially the parchments . * Alexander the coppersmith did (5668 ) me much evil : the Lord reward (5630 ) him according to his works : * Of whom be thou ware (5732 ) also ; for he hath greatly withstood (5758 ) our words . * At my first answer no man stood (5633 ) with me , but all men forsook (5627 ) me : I pray God that it may not be laid (5678 ) to their charge . * Notwithstanding the Lord stood (5627 ) with me , and strengthened (5656 ) me ; that by me the preaching might be fully known (5686 ), and that all the Gentiles might hear (5661 ): and I was delivered (5681 ) out of the mouth of the lion . * And the Lord shall deliver (5695 ) me from every evil work , and will preserve (5692 ) me unto his heavenly kingdom : to whom be glory for ever and ever . Amen . * Salute (5663 ) Prisca and Aquila , and the household of Onesiphorus . * Erastus abode (5656 ) at Corinth : but Trophimus have I left (5627 ) at Miletum sick (5723 ). * Do thy diligence (5657 ) to come (5629 ) before winter . Eubulus greeteth (5736 ) thee , and Pudens , and Linus , and Claudia , and all the brethren . * The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit . Grace be with you . Amen .The second epistle unto Timotheus , ordained (5685 ) the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians , was written (5648 ) from Rome , when Paul was brought before (5627 ) Nero the second time .#
