NASB Bible

2 Timothy 4

"Preach the Word"

1

 aI solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to  bjudge the living and the dead, and by His  cappearing and His kingdom:

2

preach  athe word; be ready in season and out of season;  breprove, rebuke, exhort, with  1great  cpatience and instruction.

3

For  athe time will come when they will not endure  bsound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,

4

and  awill turn away their ears from the truth and  bwill turn aside to myths.

5

But you,  abe sober in all things,  bendure hardship, do the work of an  cevangelist, fulfill your  dministry.

6

For I am already being  apoured out as a drink offering, and the time of  bmy departure has come.

7

 aI have fought the good fight, I have finished  bthe course, I have kept  cthe faith;

8

in the future there  ais laid up for me  bthe crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on  cthat day; and not only to me, but also to  dall who have loved His  eappearing.

Personal Concerns

9

 aMake every effort to come to me soon;

10

for  aDemas, having loved  bthis present  1world, has deserted me and gone to  cThessalonica; Crescens has gone to  2 dGalatia,  eTitus to Dalmatia.

11

 aOnly  bLuke is with me. Pick up  cMark and bring him with you,  dfor he is useful to me for service.

12

But  aTychicus I have sent to  bEphesus.

13

When you come bring the cloak which I left at  aTroas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.

14

 aAlexander the coppersmith did me much harm;  bthe Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

15

Be on guard against him yourself, for he vigorously opposed our  1teaching.

16

At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me;  amay it not be counted against them.

17

But the Lord stood with me and  astrengthened me, so that through me  bthe proclamation might  1be  cfully accomplished, and that all  dthe Gentiles might hear; and I was  erescued out of  fthe lion's mouth.

18

The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will  1 abring me safely to His  bheavenly kingdom;  cto  2Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

19

Greet Prisca and  aAquila, and  bthe household of Onesiphorus.

20

 aErastus remained at  bCorinth, but  cTrophimus I left sick at  dMiletus.

21

 aMake every effort to come before  bwinter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren.

22

 aThe Lord be with your spirit.  bGrace be with you.
