2 Timothy 4:1-10

``Preach the Word"

1 1I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to 2judge the living and the dead, and by His 3appearing and His kingdom:
2 preach 4the word; be ready in season and out of season; 5reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great 6patience and instruction.
3 For 7the time will come when they will not endure 8sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,
4 and 9will turn away their ears from the truth and 10will turn aside to myths.
5 But you, 11be sober in all things, 12endure hardship, do the work of an 13evangelist, fulfill your 14ministry.
6 For I am already being 15poured out as a drink offering, and the time of 16my departure has come.
7 17I have fought the good fight, I have finished 18the course, I have kept 19the faith;
8 in the future there 20is laid up for me 21the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on 22that day; and not only to me, but also to 23all who have loved His 24appearing.

Personal Concerns

9 25Make every effort to come to me soon;
10 for 26Demas, having loved 27this present world, has deserted me and gone to 28Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to 29Galatia, 30Titus to Dalmatia.
