| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1I solemnly 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: |
| 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. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. |
| 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. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Make every effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you. |
