1. I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
|
1. I G1473 charge G1263 thee therefore G3767 before G1799 God G2316 , and G2532 the G3588 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , who shall G3195 judge G2919 the quick G2198 and G2532 the dead G3498 at G2596 his G848 appearing G2015 and G2532 his G848 kingdom G932 ;
|
|
2. Preach the message, be ready whether it is convenient or not, reprove, rebuke, exhort with complete patience and instruction.
|
2. Preach G2784 the G3588 word G3056 ; be instant G2186 in season G2122 , out of season G171 ; reprove G1651 , rebuke G2008 , exhort G3870 with G1722 all G3956 longsuffering G3115 and G2532 doctrine G1322 .
|
|
3. For there will be a time when people will not tolerate sound teaching. Instead, following their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves, because they have an insatiable curiosity to hear new things.
|
3. For G1063 the time G2540 will come G2071 when G3753 they will not G3756 endure G430 sound G5198 doctrine G1319 ; but G235 after G2596 their own G2398 lusts G1939 shall they heap G2002 to themselves G1438 teachers G1320 , having itching G2833 ears G189 ;
|
|
4. And they will turn away from hearing the truth, but on the other hand they will turn aside to myths.
|
4. And G2532 they shall turn away G654 their ears G189 from G575 G3303 the G3588 truth G225 , and G1161 shall be turned G1624 unto G1909 fables G3454 .
|
|
5. You, however, be self-controlled in all things, endure hardship, do an evangelist's work, fulfill your ministry.
|
5. But G1161 watch G3525 thou G4771 in G1722 all things G3956 , endure afflictions G2553 , do G4160 the work G2041 of an evangelist G2099 , make full proof G4135 of thy G4675 ministry G1248 .
|
|
6. For I am already being poured out as an offering, and the time for me to depart is at hand.
|
6. For G1063 I G1473 am now ready to be offered G4689 G2235 , and G2532 the G3588 time G2540 of my G1699 departure G359 is at hand G2186 .
|
|
7. I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith!
|
7. I have fought G75 a good G2570 fight G73 , I have finished G5055 my course G1408 , I have kept G5083 the G3588 faith G4102 :
|
|
8. Finally the crown of righteousness is reserved for me. The Lord, the righteous Judge, will award it to me in that day� and not to me only, but also to all who have set their affection on his appearing.
|
8. Henceforth G3063 there is laid up G606 for me G3427 a crown G4735 of righteousness G1343 , which G3739 the G3588 Lord G2962 , the G3588 righteous G1342 judge G2923 , shall give G591 me G3427 at G1722 that G1565 day G2250 : and G1161 not G3756 to me G1698 only G3440 , but G235 unto all G3956 them also that love G25 G2532 his G846 appearing G2015 .
|
|
9. Make every effort to come to me soon.
|
9. Do thy diligence G4704 to come G2064 shortly G5030 unto G4314 me G3165 :
|
|
10. For Demas deserted me, since he loved the present age, and he went to Thessalonica. Crescens went to Galatia and Titus to Dalmatia.
|
10. For G1063 Demas G1214 hath forsaken G1459 me G3165 , having loved G25 this present G3568 world G165 , and G2532 is departed G4198 unto G1519 Thessalonica G2332 ; Crescens G2913 to G1519 Galatia G1053 , Titus G5103 unto G1519 Dalmatia G1149 .
|
|
11. Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is a great help to me in ministry.
|
11. Only G3441 Luke G3065 is G2076 with G3326 me G1700 . Take G353 Mark G3138 , and bring G71 him with G3326 thee G4572 : for G1063 he is G2076 profitable G2173 to me G3427 for G1519 the ministry G1248 .
|
|
12. Now I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
|
12. And G1161 Tychicus G5190 have I sent G649 to G1519 Ephesus G2181 .
|
|
13. When you come, bring with you the cloak I left in Troas with Carpas and the scrolls, especially the parchments.
|
13. The G3588 cloak G5341 that G3739 I left G620 at G1722 Troas G5174 with G3844 Carpus G2591 , when thou comest G2064 , bring G5342 with thee, and G2532 the G3588 books G975 , but especially G3122 the G3588 parchments G3200 .
|
|
14. Alexander the coppersmith did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will repay him in keeping with his deeds.
|
14. Alexander G223 the G3588 coppersmith G5471 did G1731 me G3427 much G4183 evil G2556 : the G3588 Lord G2962 reward G591 him G846 according G2596 to his G846 works G2041 :
|
|
15. You be on guard against him too, because he vehemently opposed our words.
|
15. Of whom G3739 be thou ware G5442 G4771 also G2532 ; for G1063 he hath greatly G3029 withstood G436 our G2251 words G3056 .
|
|
16. At my first defense no one appeared in my support; instead they all deserted me� may they not be held accountable for it.
|
16. At G1722 my G3450 first G4413 answer G627 no man G3762 stood with G4836 me G3427 , but G235 all G3956 men forsook G1459 me G3165 : I pray God that it may not G3361 be laid to their charge G3049 G846 .
|
|
17. But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed for all the Gentiles to hear. And so I was delivered from the lion's mouth!
|
17. Notwithstanding G1161 the G3588 Lord G2962 stood with G3936 me G3427 , and G2532 strengthened G1743 me G3165 ; that G2443 by G1223 me G1700 the G3588 preaching G2782 might be fully known G4135 , and G2532 that all G3956 the G3588 Gentiles G1484 might hear G191 : and G2532 I was delivered G4506 out of G1537 the mouth G4750 of the lion G3023 .
|
|
18. The Lord will deliver me from every evil deed and will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever! Amen.
|
18. And G2532 the G3588 Lord G2962 shall deliver G4506 me G3165 from G575 every G3956 evil G4190 work G2041 , and G2532 will preserve G4982 me unto G1519 his G848 heavenly G2032 kingdom G932 : to whom G3739 be glory G1391 forever and ever G1519 G165 G165 . Amen G281 .
