2 Timothy 4:2-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

² Preach the word. Be ready whether it is convenient or not.^[a] Correct, rebuke, and encourage, with all patience and teaching.^{[b] 3} For there will come a time when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, because they have itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in line with their own desires. ⁴ They will also turn their ears away from the truth and will turn aside to myths.

⁵ As for you, keep a clear head in every situation. Bear hardship. Do the work of an evangelist. Fulfill your ministry.
