Godbey - II Timothy - 4

4:1  In the presence of God, and Jesus Christ, the one about to judge the living and the dead, I testify to, both his appearing and his kingdom;

4:2  preach the word: be instant in season and out of season; convict, exhort, rebuke, with all longsuffering and teaching.

4:3  For the time will come when they will not endure healthy teaching; but according to their own lusts they will heap to themselves teachers itching as to their hearing;

4:4  and they will indeed turn their hearing from the truth, and be turned unto fables.

4:5  But be thou sober in all things, suffer affliction, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

4:6  For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

4:7  I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

4:8  finally there is a crown of righteousness laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me in that day: not only to me, but to all those who with divine love, do love his appearing.

4:9  Hasten to come to me quickly.

4:10  For Demas has left me, having loved the present age, and is gone into Thessalonica; Crescents into Galatia, Titus into Dalmatia.

4:11  Luke alone is with me. Having taken Mark, bring him with you: for he is useful unto me for the ministry.

4:12  But I sent Tychicus into Ephesus.

4:13  Coming, bring the cloak, which I left in Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.

4:14  Alexander the coppersmith showed to me much evil: the Lord will reward him according to his works.

4:15  Whom you also watch for he resisted our words exceedingly.

4:16  In my first defence no one stood by me, but all left me: may it not be charged against them:

4:17  but the Lord stood by me, and impowered me; in order that the preaching through me might be fulfilled, and all the Gentiles hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

4:18  And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and save me into his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory unto the ages of the ages. Amen.

4:19  Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.

4:20  Erastus remained in Corinth: and I left Trophimus in Miletum sick.

4:21  Hasten to come before winter. Eubulus and Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brothers salute you.

4:22  The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
