| # Chapter 4
#### 1 | I charge [thee] in 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 me 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 forever 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.

Titus 1
