2 Timothy 4:3-8
King James Version
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

2 Timothy 4:3-8
New American Standard Bible
3 For (A)the time will come when they will not tolerate (B)sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, 4 and they (C)will turn their ears away from the truth and (D)will turn aside to myths. 5 But as for you, (E)use self-restraint in all things, (F)endure hardship, do the work of an (G)evangelist, fulfill your (H)ministry.
6 For I am already being (I)poured out as a drink offering, and the time of (J)my departure has come. 7 (K)I have fought the good fight, I have finished (L)the course, I have kept (M)the faith; 8 in the future there (N)is reserved for me (O)the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on (P)that day; and not only to me, but also to (Q)all who have loved His (R)appearing.
