| New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 6 As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near. | 6 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. |
| 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. | 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. |
| 8 And now the prize awaits me -- the crown of righteousness that the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that great day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his glorious return. | 8 Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day--and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. |
