2 Timothy 4 — WBMS
4Verse 1I witness before God and Christ Jesus, that shall deem the quick and the dead, by the coming of him, and he kingdom of him,Verse 2preach the word, be thou busy covenably without rest, reprove thou, beseech thou, blame thou in all patience and doctrine.Verse 3For time shall be, when men shall not suffer [or not sustain] whole-some teaching, but at their desires they shall gather together to themselves masters itching [or pleasing] to the ears.Verse 4And truly they shall turn away the hearing from truth, but to fables they shall turn.Verse 5But wake thou, in all things travail thou, do [thou] the work of an evangelist, fulfill thy service, [or office], be thou sober.Verse 6For I am sacrificed now, and the time of my departing is nigh.Verse 7I have striven a good strife, I have ended the course, I have kept the faith.Verse 8In the tother time a crown of rightwiseness is kept to me, which the Lord, a just doomsman, shall yield to me in that day; and not only to me, but also to these that love his coming.Verse 9Hie thou to come to me soon.Verse 10For Demas, loving this world, hath forsaken me, and went to Thessalonica, Crescens into Galatia, Titus into Dalmatia;Verse 11Luke alone is with me. Take thou Mark, and bring with thee; for he is profitable to me into service.Verse 12Forsooth I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.Verse 13The cloth which I left at Troas at Carpas, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but most the parchments.Verse 14Alexander, the treasurer, showed to me much evil; the Lord shall yield to him after his works.Verse 15Whom also thou eschew; for he against-stood full greatly our words.Verse 16In my first defence no man helped me, but all forsook me; be it not areckoned to them.Verse 17But the Lord helped me [or the Lord stood nigh to me], and comforted me, that the preaching be [full]-filled by me, and that all folks hear, that I am delivered from the mouth of the lion.Verse 18And the Lord delivered me from all evil work, and shall make me safe into his heavenly kingdom, to whom be glory into worlds of worlds. Amen.Verse 19Greet well Prisca, and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.Verse 20Erastus left [or dwelt] at Corinth, and I left Trophimus sick at Miletum.Verse 21Hie thou to come before winter. Eubulus, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all brethren, greet thee well.Verse 22Our Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. The grace of God be with you. Amen.
