2 Timothy 4:2-5
English Standard Version
2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; (A)reprove, rebuke, and (B)exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 (C)For the time is coming when people will not endure (D)sound[a] teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and (E)will turn away from listening to the truth and (F)wander off into myths. 5 As for you, (G)always be sober-minded, (H)endure suffering, do the work of (I)an evangelist, (J)fulfill your ministry.
