Continue to Do Your Work
4 I solemnly call on you in the presence of God and Christ Yeshua, who is going to judge those who are living and those who are dead. I do this because Christ Yeshua will come to rule the world. 2 Be ready to spread the word whether or not the time is right. Point out errors, warn people, and encourage them. Be very patient when you teach.
3 A time will come when people will not listen to accurate teachings. Instead, they will follow their own desires and surround themselves with teachers who tell them what they want to hear. 4 People will refuse to listen to the truth and turn to myths.
5 But you must keep a clear head in everything. Endure suffering. Do the work of a missionary. Devote yourself completely to your work.
6 My life is coming to an end, and it is now time for me to be poured out as a sacrifice to God. 7 I have fought the good fight. I have completed the race. I have kept the faith. 8 The prize that shows I have God’s approval is now waiting for me. The Lord, who is a fair judge, will give me that prize on that day. He will give it not only to me but also to everyone who is eagerly waiting for him to come again.
Paul’s Final Instructions to Timothy
9 Hurry to visit me soon. 10 Demas has abandoned me. He fell in love with this present world and went to the city of Thessalonica. Crescens went to the province of Galatia, and Titus went to the province of Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you. He is useful to me in my work. 12 I’m sending Tychicus to the city of Ephesus as my representative.
13 When you come, bring the warm coat I left with Carpus in the city of Troas. Also bring the scrolls and especially the parchments.[a]
14 Alexander the metalworker did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will pay him back for what he did. 15 Watch out for him. He violently opposed what we said. 16 At my first hearing no one stood up in my defense. Everyone abandoned me. I pray that it won’t be held against them. 17 However, the Lord stood by me and gave me strength so that I could finish spreading the Good News for all the nations to hear. I was snatched out of a lion’s mouth. 18 The Lord will rescue me from all harm and will take me safely to his heavenly kingdom. Glory belongs to him forever! Amen.
Final Greetings
19 Give my greetings to Prisca and Aquila and the family of Onesiphorus. 20 Erastus stayed in the city of Corinth and I left Trophimus in the city of Miletus because he was sick. 21 Hurry to visit me before winter comes. Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, Claudia and all the brothers and sisters send you greetings.
22 The Lord be with you. His good will[b] be with all of you.

Raccomandazione solenne
4 Ti scongiuro davanti a Dio e a Cristo Gesù che verrà a giudicare i vivi e i morti, per la sua manifestazione e il suo regno: 2 annunzia la parola, insisti in ogni occasione opportuna e non opportuna, ammonisci, rimprovera, esorta con ogni magnanimità e dottrina. 3 Verrà giorno, infatti, in cui non si sopporterà più la sana dottrina, ma, per il prurito di udire qualcosa, gli uomini si circonderanno di maestri secondo le proprie voglie, 4 rifiutando di dare ascolto alla verità per volgersi alle favole. 5 Tu però vigila attentamente, sappi sopportare le sofferenze, compi la tua opera di annunziatore del vangelo, adempi il tuo ministero.
Paolo al tramonto della sua vita
6 Quanto a me, il mio sangue sta per essere sparso in libagione ed è giunto il momento di sciogliere le vele. 7 Ho combattuto la buona battaglia, ho terminato la mia corsa, ho conservato la fede. 8 Ora mi resta solo la corona di giustizia che il Signore, giusto giudice, mi consegnerà in quel giorno; e non solo a me, ma anche a tutti coloro che attendono con amore la sua manifestazione.
Ultime raccomandazioni
9 Cerca di venire presto da me, 10 perché Dema mi ha abbondonato avendo preferito il secolo presente ed è partito per Tessalonica; Crescente è andato in Galazia, Tito in Dalmazia. 11 Solo Luca è con me. Prendi Marco e portalo con te, perché mi sarà utile per il ministero. 12 Ho inviato Tìchico a Efeso. 13 Venendo, portami il mantello che ho lasciato a Troade in casa di Carpo e anche i libri, soprattutto le pergamene. 14 Alessandro, il ramaio, mi ha procurato molti mali. Il Signore gli renderà secondo le sue opere; 15 guàrdatene anche tu, perché è stato un accanito avversario della nostra predicazione.
16 Nella mia prima difesa in tribunale nessuno mi ha assistito; tutti mi hanno abbandonato. Non se ne tenga conto contro di loro. 17 Il Signore però mi è stato vicino e mi ha dato forza, perché per mio mezzo si compisse la proclamazione del messaggio e potessero sentirlo tutti i Gentili: e così fui liberato dalla bocca del leone. 18 Il Signore mi libererà da ogni male e mi salverà per il suo regno eterno; a lui la gloria nei secoli dei secoli. Amen.
Saluto e augurio finale
19 Saluta Prisca e Aquila e la famiglia di Onesìforo. 20 Eràsto è rimasto a Corinto; Tròfimo l'ho lasciato ammalato a Milèto. 21 Affrettati a venire prima dell'inverno.
Ti salutano Eubùlo, Pudènte, Lino, Claudia e tutti i fratelli.
22 Il Signore Gesù sia con il tuo spirito. La grazia sia con voi!

New International Version
2 Timothy 4
New International Version
4 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead,(A) and in view of his appearing(B) and his kingdom, I give you this charge:(C) 2 Preach(D) the word;(E) be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke(F) and encourage(G)—with great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine.(H) 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.(I) 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.(J) 5 But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship,(K) do the work of an evangelist,(L) discharge all the duties of your ministry.
6 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering,(M) and the time for my departure is near.(N) 7 I have fought the good fight,(O) I have finished the race,(P) I have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in store for me(Q) the crown of righteousness,(R) which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day(S)—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.(T)
Personal Remarks
9 Do your best to come to me quickly,(U) 10 for Demas,(V) because he loved this world,(W) has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica.(X) Crescens has gone to Galatia,(Y) and Titus(Z) to Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke(AA) is with me.(AB) Get Mark(AC) and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry. 12 I sent Tychicus(AD) to Ephesus.(AE) 13 When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas,(AF) and my scrolls, especially the parchments.
14 Alexander(AG) the metalworker did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will repay him for what he has done.(AH) 15 You too should be on your guard against him, because he strongly opposed our message.
16 At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them.(AI) 17 But the Lord stood at my side(AJ) and gave me strength,(AK) so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it.(AL) And I was delivered from the lion’s mouth.(AM) 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack(AN) and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom.(AO) To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.(AP)
Final Greetings
19 Greet Priscilla[a] and Aquila(AQ) and the household of Onesiphorus.(AR) 20 Erastus(AS) stayed in Corinth, and I left Trophimus(AT) sick in Miletus.(AU) 21 Do your best to get here before winter.(AV) Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia and all the brothers and sisters.[b]
22 The Lord be with your spirit.(AW) Grace be with you all.(AX)
