I{G1473} charge{G1263}{(G5736)} thee therefore{G3767} before{G1799} God{G2316}, and{G2532} the Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547}, who{G3588} shall{G3195}{(G5723)} judge{G2919}{(G5721)} the quick{G2198}{(G5723)} and{G2532} the dead{G3498} at{G2596} his{G846} appearing{G2015} and{G2532} his{G846} kingdom{G932};

Preach{G2784}{(G5657)} the word{G3056}; be instant{G2186}{(G5628)} in season{G2122}, out of season{G171}; reprove{G1651}{(G5657)}, rebuke{G2008}{(G5657)}, exhort{G3870}{(G5657)} with{G1722} all{G3956} longsuffering{G3115} and{G2532} doctrine{G1322}.

For{G1063} the time{G2540} will come{G2071}{(G5704)} when{G3753} they will{G430} not{G3756} endure{G430}{(G5695)} sound{G5198}{(G5723)} doctrine{G1319}; but{G235} after{G2596} their own{G2398} lusts{G1939} shall they heap{G2002}{(G5692)} to themselves{G1438} teachers{G1320}, having itching{G2833}{(G5746)} ears{G189};

And{G2532} they shall turn away{G3303}{G654}{(G5692)} their ears{G189} from{G575} the truth{G225}, and{G1161} shall be turned{G1624}{(G5691)} unto{G1909} fables{G3454}.

But{G1161} watch{G3525}{(G5720)} thou{G4771} in{G1722} all things{G3956}, endure afflictions{G2553}{(G5657)}, do{G4160}{(G5657)} the work{G2041} of an evangelist{G2099}, make full proof{G4135}{(G5657)} of thy{G4675} ministry{G1248}.

For{G1063} I{G1473} am{G4689} now{G2235} ready to be offered{G4689}{(G5743)}, and{G2532} the time{G2540} of my{G1699} departure{G359} is at hand{G2186}{(G5758)}.

I have fought{G75}{(G5766)} a good{G2570} fight{G73}, I have finished{G5055}{(G5758)} my course{G1408}, I have kept{G5083}{(G5758)} the faith{G4102}:

Henceforth{G3063} there is laid up{G606}{(G5736)} for me{G3427} a crown{G4735} of righteousness{G1343}, which{G3739} the Lord{G2962}, the righteous{G1342} judge{G2923}, shall give{G591}{(G5692)} me{G3427} at{G1722} that{G1565} day{G2250}: and{G1161} not{G3756} to me{G1698} only{G3440}, but{G235} unto all them{G3956} also{G2532} that love{G25}{(G5761)} his{G846} appearing{G2015}.

Do thy diligence{G4704}{(G5657)} to come{G2064}{(G5629)} shortly{G5030} unto{G4314} me{G3165}:

For{G1063} Demas{G1214} hath forsaken{G1459}{(G5627)} me{G3165}, having loved{G25}{(G5660)} this present{G3568} world{G165}, and{G2532} is departed{G4198}{(G5675)} unto{G1519} Thessalonica{G2332}; Crescens{G2913} to{G1519} Galatia{G1053}, Titus{G5103} unto{G1519} Dalmatia{G1149}.

Only{G3441} Luke{G3065} is{G2076}{(G5748)} with{G3326} me{G1700}. Take{G353}{(G5631)} Mark{G3138}, and bring him{G71}{(G5720)} with{G3326} thee{G4572}: for{G1063} he is{G2076}{(G5748)} profitable{G2173} to me{G3427} for{G1519} the ministry{G1248}.

And{G1161} Tychicus{G5190} have I sent{G649}{(G5656)} to{G1519} Ephesus{G2181}.

The cloke{G5341} that{G3739} I left{G620}{(G5627)} at{G1722} Troas{G5174} with{G3844} Carpus{G2591}, when thou comest{G2064}{(G5740)}, bring{G5342}{(G5720)} with thee, and{G2532} the books{G975}, but especially{G3122} the parchments{G3200}.

Alexander{G223} the coppersmith{G5471} did{G1731}{(G5668)} me{G3427} much{G4183} evil{G2556}: the Lord{G2962} reward{G591}{(G5630)} him{G846} according to{G2596} his{G846} works{G2041}:

Of whom{G3739} be{G5442} thou{G4771} ware{G5442}{(G5732)} also{G2532}; for{G1063} he hath{G436} greatly{G3029} withstood{G436}{(G5758)} our{G2251} words{G3056}.

At{G1722} my{G3450} first{G4413} answer{G627} no man{G3762} stood{G4836}{(G5633)} with me{G3427}, but{G235} all{G3956} men forsook{G1459}{(G5627)} me{G3165}: I pray God that it may{G3049} not{G3361} be laid{G3049}{(G5678)} to their charge{G846}.

Notwithstanding{G1161} the Lord{G2962} stood{G3936}{(G5627)} with me{G3427}, and{G2532} strengthened{G1743}{(G5656)} me{G3165}; that{G2443} by{G1223} me{G1700} the preaching{G2782} might be fully known{G4135}{(G5686)}, and{G2532} that all{G3956} the Gentiles{G1484} might hear{G191}{(G5661)}: and{G2532} I was delivered{G4506}{(G5681)} out of{G1537} the mouth{G4750} of the lion{G3023}.

And{G2532} the Lord{G2962} shall deliver{G4506}{(G5695)} me{G3165} from{G575} every{G3956} evil{G4190} work{G2041}, and{G2532} will preserve{G4982}{(G5692)} me unto{G1519} his{G846} heavenly{G2032} kingdom{G932}: to whom{G3739} be glory{G1391} for{G1519} ever{G165} and ever{G165}. Amen{G281}.

Salute{G782}{(G5663)} Prisca{G4251} and{G2532} Aquila{G207}, and{G2532} the household{G3624} of Onesiphorus{G3683}.

Erastus{G2037} abode{G3306}{(G5656)} at{G1722} Corinth{G2882}: but{G1161} Trophimus{G5161} have I left{G620}{(G5627)} at{G1722} Miletum{G3399} sick{G770}{(G5723)}.

Do thy diligence{G4704}{(G5657)} to come{G2064}{(G5629)} before{G4253} winter{G5494}. Eubulus{G2103} greeteth{G782}{(G5736)} thee{G4571}, and{G2532} Pudens{G4227}, and{G2532} Linus{G3044}, and{G2532} Claudia{G2803}, and{G2532} all{G3956} the brethren{G80}.

The Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} be with{G3326} thy{G4675} spirit{G4151}. Grace{G5485} be with{G3326} you{G5216}. Amen{G281}. The second{G1208} epistle unto{G4314} Timotheus{G5095}, ordained{G5500}{(G5685)} the first{G4413} bishop{G1985} of the church{G1577} of the Ephesians{G2180}, was written{G1125}{(G5648)} from{G575} Rome{G4516}, when{G3753} Paul{G3972} was brought before{G3936}{(G5627)} Nero{G3505}{G2541} the second{G1537}{G1208} time{G2540}.
