The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy

Chapter 4

American Standard Version

2 Ti 4:1	I charge thee in the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
2 Ti 4:2	preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
2 Ti 4:3	For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts;
2 Ti 4:4	and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables.
2 Ti 4:5	But be thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry.
2 Ti 4:6	For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure is come.
2 Ti 4:7	I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith:
2 Ti 4:8	henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all them that have loved his appearing.
2 Ti 4:9	Give diligence to come shortly unto me:
2 Ti 4:10	for Demas forsook me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
2 Ti 4:11	Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee; for he is useful to me for ministering.
2 Ti 4:12	But Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.
2 Ti 4:13	The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments.
2 Ti 4:14	Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord will render to him according to his works:
2 Ti 4:15	of whom do thou also beware; for he greatly withstood our words.
2 Ti 4:16	At my first defence no one took my part, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their account.
2 Ti 4:17	But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
2 Ti 4:18	The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
2 Ti 4:19	Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
2 Ti 4:20	Erastus remained at Corinth: but Trophimus I left at Miletus sick.
2 Ti 4:21	Give diligence to come before winter. Eubulus saluteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
2 Ti 4:22	The Lord be with thy spirit. Grace be with you.
