2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8in the future 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. |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Make every effort to come to me soon; |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10for Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Only Luke is with me. Pick up Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service. |

13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13When you come bring the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments. |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds. |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Be on guard against him yourself, for he vigorously opposed our teaching. |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; may it not be counted against them. |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fully accomplished, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was rescued out of the lion's mouth. |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Erastus remained at Corinth, but Trophimus I left sick at Miletus. |
