2 Timothy 3:16-4:5
English Standard Version
16 (A)All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that (B)the man of God[a] may be complete, (C)equipped (D)for every good work.
Preach the Word
4 (E)I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, (F)who is to judge the living and the dead, and by (G)his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; (H)reprove, rebuke, and (I)exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 (J)For the time is coming when people will not endure (K)sound[b] teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and (L)will turn away from listening to the truth and (M)wander off into myths. 5 As for you, (N)always be sober-minded, (O)endure suffering, do the work of (P)an evangelist, (Q)fulfill your ministry.

2 Timothy 3:16-4:5
New International Version
16 All Scripture is God-breathed(A) and is useful for teaching,(B) rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,(C) 17 so that the servant of God[a](D) may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.(E)
4 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead,(F) and in view of his appearing(G) and his kingdom, I give you this charge:(H) 2 Preach(I) the word;(J) be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke(K) and encourage(L)—with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine.(M) Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.(N) 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.(O) 5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship,(P) do the work of an evangelist,(Q) discharge all the duties of your ministry.
