Глава 4

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.
