1 I|strong="G2532" solemnly|strong="G1263" charge|strong="G1263" you|strong="G2532" – in|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" sight|strong="G1799" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" and|strong="G2532" of|strong="G2316" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424", who|strong="G3588" will|strong="G2316" one|strong="G3588" day|strong="G3588" judge|strong="G2919" the|strong="G2532" living|strong="G2198" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" dead|strong="G3498" – I|strong="G2532" charge|strong="G1263" you|strong="G2532" by|strong="G2532" his|strong="G2532" appearing|strong="G2015" and|strong="G2532" by|strong="G2532" his|strong="G2532" kingdom:
2 Proclaim|strong="G2784" the|strong="G1722" message|strong="G3056", be|strong="G2532" ready|strong="G2186" in|strong="G1722" season|strong="G2122" and|strong="G2532" out|strong="G2532" of|strong="G3056" season|strong="G2122", convince|strong="G1651", rebuke|strong="G2008", encourage|strong="G3870", never failing to|strong="G2532" instruct with|strong="G1722" forbearance.
3 For|strong="G1063" a|strong="G1510" time|strong="G2540" will|strong="G1510" come|strong="G1510" when|strong="G3753" people|strong="G1510" will|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" tolerate sound|strong="G5198" teaching|strong="G1319". They|strong="G3588" will|strong="G1510" follow their|strong="G1438" own|strong="G2398" wishes, and|strong="G3588", in|strong="G2596" their|strong="G1438" itching|strong="G2833" for|strong="G1063" novelty, procure themselves|strong="G1438" a|strong="G1510" crowd of|strong="G2596" teachers|strong="G1320".
4 They|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2532" turn|strong="G1624" a|strong="G2532" deaf ear to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" truth, and|strong="G2532" give their|strong="G2532" attention to|strong="G2532" legends instead|strong="G1161".
5 But|strong="G1161" you|strong="G4771", Timothy, must|strong="G4160" always|strong="G3956" be|strong="G3956" temperate. Face hardships; do|strong="G4160" the|strong="G1722" work|strong="G2041" of|strong="G2041" a|strong="G1722" missionary; discharge all|strong="G3956" the|strong="G1722" duties of|strong="G2041" your|strong="G4160" office|strong="G1248".
6 As|strong="G2532" for|strong="G1063" me|strong="G1473", my|strong="G1473" life blood is|strong="G3588" already|strong="G2235" being|strong="G2532" poured|strong="G2532" out|strong="G2532"; the|strong="G2532" time|strong="G2540" of|strong="G2532" my|strong="G1473" departure is|strong="G3588" close at|strong="G2235" hand|strong="G2186".
7 I|strong="G5083" have|strong="G3588" run the|strong="G3588" great race; I|strong="G5083" have|strong="G3588" finished|strong="G5055" the|strong="G3588" course|strong="G1408"; I|strong="G5083" have|strong="G3588" kept|strong="G5083" the|strong="G3588" faith|strong="G4102".
8 And|strong="G2532" now|strong="G1161" the|strong="G1722" crown|strong="G4735" of|strong="G2250" righteousness|strong="G1343" awaits me|strong="G1473", which|strong="G3739" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G2962", the|strong="G1722" just|strong="G1342" judge|strong="G2923", will|strong="G2532" give|strong="G1473" me|strong="G1473" on|strong="G1722" that|strong="G3739" day|strong="G2250" – and|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" only|strong="G3440" to|strong="G2532" me|strong="G1473", but|strong="G1161" to|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" who|strong="G3739" have|strong="G2532" loved his|strong="G3956" appearing|strong="G2015".
9 Do|strong="G4704" your utmost to|strong="G4314" come|strong="G2064" to|strong="G4314" me|strong="G1473" soon|strong="G5030",
10 for|strong="G1063" Demas|strong="G1214", in|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1519" love for|strong="G1063" the|strong="G2532" world, has|strong="G2532" deserted|strong="G1459" me|strong="G1473". He|strong="G2532" has|strong="G2532" gone|strong="G4198" to|strong="G1519" Thessalonica|strong="G2332", Crescens|strong="G2913" to|strong="G1519" Galatia|strong="G1053", and|strong="G2532" Titus|strong="G5103" to|strong="G1519" Dalmatia|strong="G1149".
11 There|strong="G1063" is|strong="G1510" no|strong="G1063" one|strong="G1519" but|strong="G1063" Luke|strong="G3065" with|strong="G3326" me|strong="G1473". Pick up|strong="G1519" Mark|strong="G3138" on|strong="G1519" your|strong="G4572" way, and|strong="G3326" bring|strong="G1519" him|strong="G1519" with|strong="G3326" you|strong="G1510", for|strong="G1063" he|strong="G1063" is|strong="G1510" useful|strong="G2173" to|strong="G1519" me|strong="G1473" in|strong="G1519" my|strong="G1473" work.
12 I|strong="G1161" have sent Tychicus|strong="G5190" to|strong="G1519" Ephesus|strong="G2181".
13 Bring|strong="G5342" with|strong="G1722" you|strong="G3739", when|strong="G2532" you|strong="G3739" come|strong="G2064", the|strong="G1722" cloak which|strong="G3739" I|strong="G3739" left at|strong="G1722" Troas|strong="G5174" with|strong="G1722" Carpus|strong="G2591", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" books, especially|strong="G3122" the|strong="G1722" parchments|strong="G3200".
14 Alexander, the|strong="G2596" coppersmith|strong="G5471", showed much|strong="G4183" ill|strong="G2556" feeling towards me|strong="G1473". The|strong="G2596" Lord|strong="G2962" will|strong="G2962" give|strong="G1473" him|strong="G3588" what|strong="G3588" his|strong="G2596" actions|strong="G2041" deserve.
15 You|strong="G4771" must|strong="G3588" also|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" on|strong="G3588" your|strong="G2532" guard|strong="G5442" against him|strong="G3588", for|strong="G1063" he|strong="G2532" is|strong="G3588" strongly opposed to|strong="G2532" our|strong="G2251" teaching|strong="G3056".
16 At|strong="G1722" my|strong="G1722" first|strong="G4413" trial no|strong="G3762" one|strong="G3762" stood|strong="G3588" by|strong="G1722" me|strong="G1473". They|strong="G3588" all|strong="G3956" deserted|strong="G1459" me|strong="G1473". May|strong="G3956" it|strong="G3588" never|strong="G3361" be|strong="G3361" counted|strong="G3049" against|strong="G1722" them|strong="G3588"!
17 But|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G2962" came|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2443" my|strong="G3956" help|strong="G3936" and|strong="G2532" strengthened|strong="G1743" me|strong="G1473", in|strong="G2532" order|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443", through|strong="G1223" me|strong="G1473", the|strong="G2532" proclamation|strong="G2782" should|strong="G3588" be|strong="G2532" made|strong="G1161" so|strong="G2443" widely that|strong="G2443" all|strong="G3956" the|strong="G2532" Gentiles|strong="G1484" should|strong="G3588" hear it|strong="G2532"; and|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" was|strong="G3588" rescued|strong="G4506" out|strong="G1537" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" lion|strong="G3023"’s|strong="G2962" mouth|strong="G4750".
18 The|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G2962" will|strong="G2532" rescue|strong="G4506" me|strong="G1473" from|strong="G2532" all|strong="G3956" evil|strong="G4190", and|strong="G2532" bring|strong="G2532" me|strong="G1473" safe into|strong="G1519" his|strong="G3956" Heavenly|strong="G2032" kingdom. All|strong="G3956" glory|strong="G1391" to|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588" for|strong="G1519" ever|strong="G1519" and|strong="G2532" ever|strong="G1519"! Amen.
19 Give my|strong="G3588" greeting to|strong="G2532" Prisca|strong="G4251" and|strong="G2532" Aquila, and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" household|strong="G3624" of|strong="G2532" Onesiphorus|strong="G3683".
20 Erastus|strong="G2037" remained|strong="G3306" at|strong="G1722" Corinth|strong="G2882", and|strong="G1161" I|strong="G1161" left Thophimus ill at|strong="G1722" Miletus|strong="G3399".
21 Do|strong="G2532" your|strong="G2532" utmost to|strong="G2532" come|strong="G2064" before|strong="G4253" winter|strong="G5494". Eubulus|strong="G2103", Pudens|strong="G4227", Linus|strong="G3044" and|strong="G2532" Claudia|strong="G2803" send you|strong="G4771" their|strong="G2532" greetings, and|strong="G2532" so|strong="G2532" do|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" rest of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G3588"’s followers|strong="G3588".
22 May|strong="G5485" the|strong="G3588" Lord|strong="G2962" be|strong="G3588" with|strong="G3326" your|strong="G2962" soul. God|strong="G2962" bless you|strong="G5210" all|strong="G3588".
