4:1 I
charge
you
in
the
presence
of
God
and
of
Christ
Jesus,
who
is
to
judge
the
living
and
the
dead,
and
by
his
appearing
and
his
kingdom:
4:2 preach
the
word;
be
ready
in
season
and
out
of
season;
reprove,
rebuke,
and
exhort,
with
complete
patience
and
teaching.
4:3 For
the
time
is
coming
when
people
will
not
endure
sound
teaching,
but
having
itching
ears
they
will
accumulate
for
themselves
teachers
to
suit
their
own
passions,
4:4 and
will
turn
away
from
listening
to
the
truth
and
wander
off
into
myths.
4:5 As
for
you,
always
be
sober-minded,
endure
suffering,
do
the
work
of
an
evangelist,
fulfill
your
ministry.
4:6 For
I
am
already
being
poured
out
as
a
drink
offering,
and
the
time
of
my
departure
has
come.
4:7 I
have
fought
the
good
fight,
I
have
finished
the
race,
I
have
kept
the
faith.
4:8 Henceforth
there
is
laid
up
for
me
the
crown
of
righteousness,
which
the
Lord,
the
righteous
judge,
will
award
to
me
on
that
Day,
and
not
only
to
me
but
also
to
all
who
have
loved
his
appearing.
4:9 Do
your
best
to
come
to
me
soon.
4:10 For
Demas,
in
love
with
this
present
world,
has
deserted
me
and
gone
to
Thessalonica.
Crescens
has
gone
to
Galatia,
Titus
to
Dalmatia.
4:11 Luke
alone
is
with
me.
Get
Mark
and
bring
him
with
you,
for
he
is
very
useful
to
me
for
ministry.
4:12 Tychicus
I
have
sent
to
Ephesus.
4:13 When
you
come,
bring
the
cloak
that
I
left
with
Carpus
at
Troas,
also
the
books,
and
above
all
the
parchments.
4:14 Alexander
the
coppersmith
did
me
great
harm;
the
Lord
will
repay
him
according
to
his
deeds.
4:15 Beware
of
him
yourself,
for
he
strongly
opposed
our
message.
4:16 At
my
first
defense
no
one
came
to
stand
by
me,
but
all
deserted
me.
May
it
not
be
charged
against
them!
4:17 But
the
Lord
stood
by
me
and
strengthened
me,
so
that
through
me
the
message
might
be
fully
proclaimed
and
all
the
Gentiles
might
hear
it.
So
I
was
rescued
from
the
lion's
mouth.
4:18 The
Lord
will
rescue
me
from
every
evil
deed
and
bring
me
safely
into
his
heavenly
kingdom.
To
him
be
the
glory
forever
and
ever.
Amen.
4:19 Greet
Prisca
and
Aquila,
and
the
household
of
Onesiphorus.
4:20 Erastus
remained
at
Corinth,
and
I
left
Trophimus,
who
was
ill,
at
Miletus.
4:21 Do
your
best
to
come
before
winter.
Eubulus
sends
greetings
to
you,
as
do
Pudens
and
Linus
and
Claudia
and
all
the
brothers.
4:22 The
Lord
be
with
your
spirit.
Grace
be
with
you.
