2 Timothy
Chapters 4:1-5
Revised Version 1885
1I charge thee in the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the quick and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom;
2preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
3For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts;
4and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables.
5But be thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill thy ministry.
