| # Chapter 4
#### 1 | I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming, and his kingdom:
#### 2 | Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine.
#### 3 | For there shall be a time, when they will not endure sound doctrine; but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears:
#### 4 | And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.
#### 5 | But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober.
#### 6 | For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand.
#### 7 | I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.
#### 8 | As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice, which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming. Make haste to come to me quickly.
#### 9 | For Demas hath left me, loving this world, and is gone to Thessalonica:
#### 10 | Crescens into Galatia, Titus into Dalmatia.
#### 11 | Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
#### 12 | But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
#### 13 | The cloak that I left at Troas, with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, especially the parchments.
#### 14 | Alexander the coppersmith hath done me much evil: the Lord will reward him according to his works:
#### 15 | Whom do thou also avoid, for he hath greatly withstood our words.
#### 16 | At my first answer no man stood with me, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their charge.
#### 17 | But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching may be accomplished, and that all the Gentiles may hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
#### 18 | The Lord hath delivered me from every evil work: and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
#### 19 | Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
#### 20 | Erastus remained at Corinth. And Trophimus I left sick at Miletus.
#### 21 | Make haste to come before winter Eubulus and Pudens, and Linus and Claudia, and all the brethren, salute thee.
#### 22 | The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
