I
charge
[thee]
therefore
before
God,
and
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
who
shall
judge
the
quick
and
the
dead
at
his
appearing
and
his
kingdom;
2
Preach
the
word;
be
instant
in
season,
out
of
season;
reprove,
rebuke,
exhort
with
all
longsuffering
and
doctrine.
3
For
the
time
will
come
when
they
will
not
endure
sound
doctrine;
but
after
their
own
lusts
shall
they
heap
to
themselves
teachers,
having
itching
ears;
4
And
they
shall
turn
away
[their]
ears
from
the
truth,
and
shall
be
turned
unto
fables.
5
But
watch
thou
in
all
things,
endure
afflictions,
do
the
work
of
an
evangelist,
make
full
proof
of
thy
ministry.
6
For
I
am
now
ready
to
be
offered,
and
the
time
of
my
departure
is
at
hand.
7
I
have
fought
a
good
fight,
I
have
finished
[my]
course,
I
have
kept
the
faith:
8
Henceforth
there
is
laid
up
for
me
a
crown
of
righteousness,
which
the
Lord,
the
righteous
judge,
shall
give
me
at
that
day:
and
not
to
me
only,
but
unto
all
them
also
that
love
his
appearing.
9
Do
thy
diligence
to
come
shortly
unto
10
For
Demas
hath
forsaken
me,
having
loved
this
present
world,
and
is
departed
unto
Thessalonica;
Crescens
to
Galatia,
Titus
unto
Dalmatia.
11
Only
Luke
is
with
me.
Take
Mark,
and
bring
him
with
thee:
for
he
is
profitable
to
me
for
the
ministry.
12
And
Tychicus
have
I
sent
to
Ephesus.
13
The
cloke
that
I
left
at
Troas
with
Carpus,
when
thou
comest,
bring
[with
thee],
and
the
books,
[but]
especially
the
parchments.
14
Alexander
the
coppersmith
did
me
much
evil:
the
Lord
reward
him
according
to
his
works:
15
Of
whom
be
thou
ware
also;
for
he
hath
greatly
withstood
our
words.
16
At
my
first
answer
no
man
stood
with
me,
but
all
[men]
forsook
me:
[I
pray
God]
that
it
may
not
be
laid
to
their
charge.
17
Notwithstanding
the
Lord
stood
with
me,
and
strengthened
me;
that
by
me
the
preaching
might
be
fully
known,
and
[that]
all
the
Gentiles
might
hear:
and
I
was
delivered
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
lion.
18
And
the
Lord
shall
deliver
me
from
every
evil
work,
and
will
preserve
[me]
unto
his
heavenly
kingdom:
to
whom
[be]
glory
for
ever
and
ever.
Amen.
19
Salute
Prisca
and
Aquila,
and
the
household
of
Onesiphorus.
20
Erastus
abode
at
Corinth:
but
Trophimus
have
I
left
at
Miletum
sick.
21
Do
thy
diligence
to
come
before
winter.
Eubulus
greeteth
thee,
and
Pudens,
and
Linus,
and
Claudia,
and
all
the
brethren.
22
The
Lord
Jesus
Christ
[be]
with
thy
spirit.
Grace
[be]
with
you.
Amen.
