004:001

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine

004:002

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

004:003

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables

004:004

But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry

004:005

For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand

004:006

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith

004:007

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing

004:008

Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me

004:009

For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia

004:010

Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry

004:011

And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus

004:012

The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments

004:013

Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works

004:014

Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words

004:015

At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge

004:016

Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion

004:017

And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen

004:018

Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus

004:019

Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick

004:020

Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren

004:021

The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
