1<\/sup>I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom:<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears:<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice, which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming. Make haste to come to me quickly.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>For Demas hath left me, loving this world, and is gone to Thessalonica:<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>Crescens into Galatia, Titus into Dalmatia.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>The cloak that I left at Troas, with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, especially the parchments.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>Alexander the coppersmith hath done me much evil: the Lord will reward him according to his works:<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>Whom do thou also avoid, for he hath greatly withstood our words.<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>At my first answer no man stood with me, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their charge.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching may be accomplished, and that all the Gentiles may hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>The Lord hath delivered me from every evil work: and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>Erastus remained at Corinth. And Trophimus I left sick at Miletus.<\/span> <\/p>\n 21<\/sup>Make haste to come before winter Eubulus and Pudens, and Linus and Claudia, and all the brethren, salute thee.<\/span> <\/p>\n 22<\/sup>The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.<\/span> <\/p>\n
