- 1. ¶ I SOLEMNLY charge you before God and our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead when his kingdom is come,
- 2. Preach the word; and stand by it zealously in season and out of season; rebuke, reprove, through all patience and teaching.
- 3. For the time will come when men will not listen to sound doctrine; but they will add for themselves extra teachers according to their desires, being lured by enticing words;
- 4. And they will turn away their ears from the truth, and they will turn to fables.
- 5. But you must be awake to all things, endure hardships, do the work of a preacher, and fulfil your ministry.
- 6. From henceforth I am ready to die, and the time of my departure is at hand.
- 7. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my race, I have kept my faith:
- 8. Henceforth there is preserved for me a crown of righteousness, which my Lord, the righteous judge, will give me at that day; and not to me only but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
- 9. ¶ Make every effort to come to me soon;
- 10. For Demas has forsaken me, having loved this world, and has gone to Thessalonica; Crespos to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
- 11. Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you; for he is useful to me for the ministry.
- 12. I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
- 13. The book-carrier which I left at Troas with Carpus, bring it with you when you come, and the books, especially the parchment scrolls.
- 14. Alexander, the blacksmith, has done me much evil; our Lord reward him according to his works;
- 15. You beware of him also; for he has greatly opposed our words.
- 16. ¶ When I first wrote you, there was no one with me, for all had forsaken me; do not hold this against them.
- 17. Nevertheless, my Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that by me the preaching might be fulfilled and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
- 18. And my Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and will give me life in his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
- 19. Salute Priscilla and Aquila and their household, and Onesiphorus.
- 20. Erastus has remained at Corinth; but I left Trophimus sick at the city of Miletus.
- 21. Make every effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren.
- 22. Our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with all of us. Amen.
