2 Timothy 4:1-4 ▼

1 I testify before God, and before Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead through his return and his kingdom:

2 that you should preach the word urgently, in season and out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke, with all patience and doctrine.

3 For there shall be a time when they will not endure sound doctrine, but instead, according to their own desires, they will gather to themselves teachers, with itching ears,

4 and certainly, they will turn their hearing away from the truth, and they will be turned toward fables.
