2 Timothy 4:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ [^LFor] My life is being ·given as an offering to God [^Lpoured out as a drink offering; Num. 28:24; Phil. 2:17], and the time has come for ·me to leave this life [^Lmy departure]. ⁷ I have ·fought the good fight [or competed well], I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. ⁸ Now, a ·crown [victor’s wreath] is ·being held [reserved] for me—a ·crown [victor’s wreath] ·for being right with God [^Lof righteousness]. The Lord, the ·judge who judges rightly [^Lrighteous/just judge], will give the ·crown [victor’s wreath] to me on that day [^Cthe final day of judgment and reward]—not only to me but to all those who have ·waited with love for him to come again [^Lloved his appearing].
