- 1. I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:
- 2. preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.
- 3. For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts;

- 5. But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.
- 6. For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
- 7. I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
- 8. From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
- 9. Be diligent to come to me soon,
- 10. for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

- 13. Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.

- 15. of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed our words.
- 16. At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.
- 17. But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
- 18. And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom; to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
- 19. Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
- 20. Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.
