2 Timothy 4:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ My life is being given as an offering to God, and the time has come for me to leave this life. ⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. ⁸ Now, a crown is being held for me—a crown for being right with God. The Lord, the judge who judges rightly, will give the crown to me on that day^[a]—not only to me but to all those who have waited with love for him to come again.
