< 2 Timothy 4 >

1 I solemnly testify therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is going to judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom,
διαμαρτυρομαι ουν εγω ενωπιον του θεου και του κυριου ιησου χριστου του μελλοντος κρινειν ζωντας και νεκρους κατα την επιφανειαν αυτου και την βασιλειαν αυτου
2 preach the word, stand ready in season, out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
κηρυξον τον λογον επιστηθι ευκαιρως ακαιρως ελεγξον επιτιμησον παρακαλεσον εν παση μακροθυμια και διδαχη
3 For there will be time when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but they will accumulate teachers to themselves according to their own desires, who tickle the ear,
εσται γαρ καιρος οτε της υγιαινουσης διδασκαλιας ουκ ανεξονται αλλα κατα τας επιθυμιας τας ιδιας εαυτοις επισωρευσουσιν διδασκαλους κνηθομενοι την ακοην
4 and will indeed turn the ear away from the truth, and will be turned aside to myths.
και απο μεν της αληθειας την ακοην αποστρεψουσιν επι δε τους μυθους εκτραπησονται
5 But be thou sober in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, bring thy ministry to fullness.
συ δε νηφε εν πασιν κακοπαθησον εργον ποιησον ευαγγελιστου την διακονιαν σου πληροφορησον
6 For I am already poured out a libation, and the time of my dissolution is imminent.
εγω γαρ ηδη σπενδομαι και ο καιρος της εμης αναλυσεως εφεστηκεν
7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.
τον αγωνα τον καλον ηγωνισμαι τον δρομον τετελεκα την πιστιν τετηρηκα
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me in that day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
λοιπον αποκειται μοι ο της δικαιοσυνης στεφανος ον αποδωσει μοι ο κυριος εν εκεινη τη ημερα ο δικαιος κριτης ου μονον δε εμοι αλλα και πασιν τοις ηγαπηκοσιν την επιφανειαν αυτου
9 Hurry to come to me quickly,
σπουδασον ελθειν προς με ταχεως
10 for Demas forsook me having loved the present age, and he went to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
δημας γαρ με εγκατελιπεν αγαπησας τον νυν αιωνα και επορευθη εις θεσσαλονικην κρησκης εις γαλατιαν τιτος εις δαλματιαν (aiōn g165)
11 Only Luke is with me. Having taken Mark, bring him with thee, for he is useful to me for service.
λουκας εστιν μονος μετ εμου μαρκον αναλαβων αγε μετα σεαυτου εστιν γαρ μοι ευχρηστος εις διακονιαν
12 But Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.
τυχικον δε απεστειλα εις εφεσον
13 Bring the cloak that I left behind at Troas with Carpus when thou come, and the books, especially the parchments.
τον φελονην ον απελιπον εν τρωαδι παρα καρπω ερχομενος φερε και τα βιβλια μαλιστα τας μεμβρανας
14 Alexander the coppersmith did many evil things to me. May the Lord repay him according to his works,
αλεξανδρος ο χαλκευς πολλα μοι κακα ενεδειξατο αποδωη αυτω ο κυριος κατα τα εργα αυτου
15 of whom thou also beware, for he extremely opposed our words.
ον και συ φυλασσου λιαν γαρ ανθεστηκεν τοις ημετεροις λογοις
16 At my first defense no man came with me, but all forsook me. May it not be reckoned to them.
εν τη πρωτη μου απολογια ουδεις μοι συμπαρεγενετο αλλα παντες με εγκατελιπον μη αυτοις λογισθειη
17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the sacred message might be brought to fullness, and all the Gentiles might hear. And I was rescued out of the mouth of the lion.
ο δε κυριος μοι παρεστη και ενεδυναμωσεν με ινα δι εμου το κηρυγμα πληροφορηθη και ακουση παντα τα εθνη και ερρυσθην εκ στοματος λεοντος
18 And the Lord will rescue me from every evil work, and will save me for his heavenly kingdom, to whom is the glory into the ages of the ages. Truly. (aiōn g165)
και ρυσεται με ο κυριος απο παντος εργου πονηρου και σωσει εις την βασιλειαν αυτου την επουρανιον ω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων αμην (aiōn g165)
19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
ασπασαι πρισκαν και ακυλαν και τον ονησιφορου οικον
20 Erastus remained at Corinth, but Trophimus I left being sick at Miletus.
εραστος εμεινεν εν κορινθω τροφιμον δε απελιπον εν μιλητω ασθενουντα
21 Hurry to come before winter. Eubulus salutes thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brothers.
σπουδασον προ χειμωνος ελθειν ασπαζεται σε ευβουλος και πουδης και λινος και κλαυδια και οι αδελφοι παντες
22 The Lord Jesus Christ is with thy spirit. Grace is with you. Truly.
ο κυριος ιησους χριστος μετα του πνευματος σου η χαρις μεθ υμων αμην
