2 Timoteo 4
La Biblia de las Américas
4 Te encargo solemnemente(A), en la presencia de Dios y de Cristo Jesús, que ha de juzgar a los vivos y a los muertos(B), por su manifestación y por su reino(C): 2 Predica la palabra(D); insiste a tiempo y fuera de tiempo; redarguye(E), reprende, exhorta con mucha[a] paciencia e instrucción(F). 3 Porque vendrá tiempo(G) cuando no soportarán la sana doctrina(H), sino que teniendo comezón de oídos, acumularán para sí maestros conforme a sus propios deseos; 4 y apartarán sus oídos de la verdad(I), y se volverán a mitos[b](J). 5 Pero tú, sé sobrio en todas las cosas(K), sufre penalidades(L), haz el trabajo de un evangelista(M), cumple tu ministerio(N). 6 Porque yo ya estoy para ser derramado como una ofrenda de libación(O), y el tiempo de mi partida ha llegado(P). 7 He peleado la buena batalla(Q), he terminado la carrera(R), he guardado la fe(S). 8 En el futuro me está reservada(T) la corona de justicia(U) que el Señor, el Juez justo, me entregará en aquel día(V); y no solo a mí, sino también a todos los que aman(W) su venida[c](X).
Instrucciones personales
9 Procura venir a verme pronto(Y), 10 pues Demas(Z) me ha abandonado, habiendo amado este mundo[d](AA) presente, y se ha ido a Tesalónica(AB); Crescente se fue a Galacia[e](AC) y Tito a Dalmacia(AD). 11 Solo(AE) Lucas está conmigo(AF). Toma a Marcos(AG) y tráelo contigo, porque me es útil para el ministerio[f](AH). 12 Pero a Tíquico(AI) lo envié a Efeso(AJ). 13 Cuando vengas, trae la capa que dejé en Troas con Carpo(AK), y los libros[g], especialmente los pergaminos. 14 Alejandro(AL), el calderero, me hizo mucho daño; el Señor le retribuirá conforme a sus hechos(AM). 15 Tú también cuídate de él, pues se opone vigorosamente a nuestra enseñanza[h]. 16 En mi primera defensa nadie estuvo a mi lado, sino que todos me abandonaron; que no se les tenga en cuenta(AN). 17 Pero el Señor estuvo conmigo y me fortaleció(AO), a fin de que por mí se cumpliera cabalmente(AP) la proclamación del mensaje(AQ) y que todos los gentiles oyeran(AR). Y fui librado(AS) de la boca del león(AT). 18 El Señor me librará de toda obra mala y me traerá a salvo(AU) a[i] su reino celestial(AV). A Él[j] sea la gloria por los siglos de los siglos(AW). Amén.
Saludos y bendición
19 Saluda a Prisca y a Aquila(AX), y a la casa de Onesíforo(AY). 20 Erasto(AZ) se quedó en Corinto(BA), pero a Trófimo lo dejé enfermo en Mileto(BB). 21 Procura venir(BC) antes del invierno(BD). Eubulo te saluda, también Pudente, Lino, Claudia y todos los hermanos.
22 El Señor sea con tu espíritu(BE). La gracia sea con vosotros(BF).

Preach the Word
4 I (A)charge you [a]therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, (B)who will judge the living and the dead [b]at His appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. (C)Convince, (D)rebuke, (E)exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 (F)For the time will come when they will not endure (G)sound doctrine, (H)but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and (I)be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, (J)endure afflictions, do the work of (K)an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
Paul’s Valedictory
6 For (L)I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of (M)my departure is at hand. 7 (N)I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Finally, there is laid up for me (O)the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous (P)Judge, will give to me (Q)on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.
The Abandoned Apostle
9 Be diligent to come to me quickly; 10 for (R)Demas has forsaken me, (S)having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica—Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Get (T)Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministry. 12 And (U)Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. 13 Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.
14 (V)Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works. 15 You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words.
16 At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. (W)May it not be charged against them.
The Lord Is Faithful
17 (X)But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, (Y)so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered (Z)out of the mouth of the lion. 18 (AA)And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. (AB)To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!
Come Before Winter
19 Greet (AC)Prisca and Aquila, and the household of (AD)Onesiphorus. 20 (AE)Erastus stayed in Corinth, but (AF)Trophimus I have left in Miletus sick.
21 Do your utmost to come before winter.
Eubulus greets you, as well as Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren.
Farewell
22 The Lord [c]Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

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.

New International Version

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)
