2 Timothy 4:6-8

MSG

NIV

6 You take over. I'm about to die, my life an offering on God's altar.
6 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near.
7 This is the only race worth running. I've run hard right to the finish, believed all the way.
7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
8 All that's left now is the shouting - God's applause! Depend on it, he's an honest judge. He'll do right not only by me, but by everyone eager for his coming.
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.
