Youngs Literal Translation |   | |
 |
| |
| | 2Ti 4:1 | I do fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge living and dead at his manifestation and his reign --
| |
| | 2Ti 4:2 | preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching,
| |
| | 2Ti 4:3 | for there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers -- itching in the hearing,
| |
| | 2Ti 4:4 | and indeed, from the truth the hearing they shall turn away, and to the fables they shall be turned aside.
| |
| | 2Ti 4:5 | And thou -- watch in all things; suffer evil; do the work of one proclaiming good news; of thy ministration make full assurance,
| |
| | 2Ti 4:6 | for I am already being poured out, and the time of my release hath arrived;
| |
| | 2Ti 4:7 | the good strife I have striven, the course I have finished, the faith I have kept,
| |
| | 2Ti 4:8 | henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of the righteousness that the Lord -- the Righteous Judge -- shall give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving his manifestation.
| |
| | 2Ti 4:9 | Be diligent to come unto me quickly,
| |
| | 2Ti 4:10 | for Demas forsook me, having loved the present age, and went on to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia,
| |
| | 2Ti 4:11 | Lukas only is with me; Markus having taken, bring with thyself, for he is profitable to me for ministration;
| |
| | 2Ti 4:12 | and Tychicus I sent to Ephesus;
| |
| | 2Ti 4:13 | the cloak that I left in Troas with Carpus, coming, bring thou and the books -- especially the parchments.
| |
| | 2Ti 4:14 | Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil; may the Lord repay to him according to his works,
| |
| | 2Ti 4:15 | of whom also do thou beware, for greatly hath he stood against our words;
| |
| | 2Ti 4:16 | in my first defence no one stood with me, but all forsook me, (may it not be reckoned to them!)
| |
| | 2Ti 4:17 | and the Lord stood by me, and did strengthen me, that through me the preaching might be fully assured, and all the nations might hear, and I was freed out of the mouth of a lion,
| |
| | 2Ti 4:18 | and the Lord shall free me from every evil work, and shall save `me' -- to his heavenly kingdom; to whom `is' the glory to the ages of the ages! Amen.
| |
| | 2Ti 4:19 | Salute Prisca and Aquilas, and Onesiphorus' household;
| |
| | 2Ti 4:20 | Erastus did remain in Corinth, and Trophimus I left in Miletus infirm;
| |
| | 2Ti 4:21 | be diligent to come before winter. Salute thee doth Eubulus, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
| |
| | 2Ti 4:22 | The Lord Jesus Christ `is' with thy spirit; the grace `is' with you! Amen.
