2 Timothy 3:16-4:4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice,

¹⁷ That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.

4 I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom:

² Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine.

³ For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears:

⁴ And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.
