Murdock - II Timothy - 4

4:1  I charge thee, before God, and our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who is to judge the living and the dead, at the manifestation of his kingdom,

4:2  Proclaim the word; and persist in it with diligence, in time and out of time; admonish, and rebuke, with all patience and instructiveness.

4:3  For the time will come, when they will not give ear to sound teaching; but, according to their lusts, will multiply to themselves teachers, in the itching of their hearing;

4:4  and will turn away their ears from the truth, and incline after fables.

4:5  But be thou vigilant in all things; and endure evils, and do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill thy ministry.

4:6  But I am soon to be immolated; and the time of my dissolution hath come.

4:7  I have fought a good combat, I have completed my race, I have preserved my fidelity;

4:8  and henceforth there is preserved for me a crown of righteousness, with which my Lord, the righteous Judge, will recompense me in that day; and not me only, but them also who love his manifestation.

4:9  Exert thyself to come to me quickly.

4:10  For Demas hath left me; and hath loved this world and gone away to Thessalonica; Crispus to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

4:11  Luke only is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee; for he is suitable for me, for ministration.

4:12  And Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.

4:13  And when thou comest, bring the bookcase, which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, but especially the roll of parchments.

4:14  Alexander the coppersmith showed me many ills: our Lord will reward him according to his doings.

4:15  And do thou also beware of him; for he is very insolent against our words.

4:16  At my first defence, no one was with me, but they all forsook me. Let not this be reckoned to them.

4:17  But 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 rescued from the mouth of the lion.

4:18  And my Lord will rescue me from every evil work; and will give me life in his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

4:19  Present a salutation to Priscilla and Aquila, and to the household of Onesiphorus.

4:20  Erastus hath stopped at Corinth; and Trophimus I left sick at the city of Miletus.

4:21  Exert thyself to come before winter. Eubulus saluteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

4:22  Our Lord Jesus the Messiah be with thy spirit. Grace be with thee. Amen.
