2 Timothy 4:7-9
New Catholic Bible
7 I have fought the good fight; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith. 8 Now waiting for me is the crown[a] of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day—and not only to me, but to all those who have eagerly longed for his appearance.
Comfort in Trial. 9 Make every effort to come to me as soon as possible.
