1
I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom:
2
preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.
3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,
4
and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
5
But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
