2 Timothy 4
|
|
| 4:1
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; |
|
| 4:2
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke,
exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. |
|
| 4:3
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; |
|
| 4:4
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned
unto fables. |
|
| 4:5
But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an
evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. |
|
| 4:6
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. |
|
| 4:7
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the
faith: |
|
| 4:8
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. |
|
| 4:9
Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: |
|
| 4:10
For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is
departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. |
|
| 4:11
Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is
profitable to me for the ministry. |
|
| 4:12
And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. |
 (4:14-15) God will "reward" Alexander for the "blasphemy" of disagreeing with
"Paul".
(See 1 Tim.1:20 and 2 Tim.2:16-18)
(4:14) "Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord
reward him according to his works."
(4:15) "Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words."
|
| 4:13
The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with
thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.
|
| 4:14
Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according
to his works:
|
| 4:15
Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
|
| 4:16
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. |
|
| 4:17
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. |
|
| 4:18
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. |
|
| 4:19
Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. |
|
| 4:20
Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick. |
|
| 4:21
Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens,
and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. |
|
| 4:22
The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
