⁴ They will ·stop listening to [^Lturn their ears/hearing away from] the truth and will ·begin to follow [wander/turn aside to] ·false stories [myths]. ⁵ But you should ·control yourself [be sober-minded] at all times, ·accept troubles [endure hardships], do the work of ·telling the Good News [^Lan evangelist], and ·complete all the duties of a servant of God [^Lfulfill your service/ministry].

⁶ [^LFor] My life is being ·given as an offering to God [^Lpoured out as a drink offering; Num. 28:24; Phil. 2:17], and the time has come for ·me to leave this life [^Lmy departure].
