2 Timothy 4:1-4 ▼

1 I ADJURE thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 preach the word, be urgent, in season, out of season; reprove, enjoin, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own inclinations will set up a herd of teachers for themselves, having the itch of hearing;

4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and listen unto fables.
