2 Timothy 4:1-8 ▼

1 I testifie therefore before God, & the Lorde Iesus Christe, which shall iudge the quicke and the dead at his appearyng, and his kingdome.

2 Preache the worde, be instant in season, out of season: Improue, rebuke, exhort in all long sufferyng and doctrine.

3 For the tyme wyll come, when they shall not suffer wholsome doctrine: but after their owne lustes, shal they whose eares itche, get the an heape of teachers:

4 And shall turne away their hearyng from the trueth, and shalbe turned vnto fables.

5 But watche thou in all thynges, suffer afflictions, do the worke of an Euangelist, fulfyll thy ministerie:

6 For I am nowe redie to be offered, & the tyme of my dissolution is at hande.

7 I haue fought a good fyght, I haue fulfylled my course, I haue kept ye faith.

8 Hencefoorth there is layde vp for me a crowne of ryghteousnesse, which the Lorde, the ryghteous iudge, shall geue me at that day: not to me only, but vnto the also yt haue loued his appearyng.
