1 - I chargetheein the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:

2 - preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

3 - For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts;

4 - and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables.

5 - But be thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry.

6 - For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure is come.

7 - I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith:

8 - henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all them that have loved his appearing.

9 - Give diligence to come shortly unto me:

10 - for Demas forsook me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

11 - Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee; for he is useful to me for ministering.

12 - But Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.

13 - The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments.

14 - Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord will render to him according to his works:

15 - of whom do thou also beware; for he greatly withstood our words.

16 - At my first defence no one took my part, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their account.

17 - But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

18 - The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

19 - Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.

20 - Erastus remained at Corinth: but Trophimus I left at Miletus sick.

21 - Give diligence to come before winter. Eubulus saluteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

22 - The Lord be with thy spirit. Grace be with you.
