2 Timothy 3:16-4:4

New American Standard Bible

^16 (A)All Scripture is ^[a]inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for ^[b]rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; ¹⁷ so that ^(B)the man or woman of God may be ^[c]fully capable, ^(C)equipped for every good work.

Preach the Word

4 ^(D)I solemnly exhort you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to ^(E)judge the living and the dead, and by His ^(F)appearing and His kingdom: ² preach ^(G)the word; be ready ^[d]in season and out of season; ^(H)correct, rebuke, and ^[e]exhort, with ^[f]great ^(I)patience and instruction. ³ For ^(J)the time will come when they will not tolerate ^(K)sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, ⁴ and they ^(L)will turn their ears away from the truth and ^(M)will turn aside to myths.
