2 Timothy 4:1-4 ▼

1 I conjure you in the name of God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is to judge the living and the dead, at his appearance in his kingdom,

2 to preach the word with assiduity upon all occasions: reprove, censure, exhort, with the most tender persuasions.

3 for the time will come, when they will not endure sound doctrine, but get teachers of their own corrupt taste, to sooth their ears that itch for flattery:

4 which, while they are deaf to the truth, attentively listen to fables.
