2 Timothy 4:1-5

Legacy Standard Bible

Preach the Word

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

⁵ But you, ^(K)be sober in all things, ^(L)endure hardship, do the work of an ^(M)evangelist, fulfill your ^(N)ministry.
