2 Timothy 4
1 I command you therefore before God and Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his Kingdom:
这就是我在上帝和耶稣基督面前，指导你要做的事情。当耶稣基督到来并建立他的王国，将对活人和死人进行审判。
2 preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.
无论是否方便，都要讲述上帝之道；如果人们犯错，要告诉他们，警告他们，鼓励他们。当你这样做时，要用极大的耐心进行教导。
3 For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts;
因为人们即将不再听得下真正的教导，那个时刻很快就会到来。到时候，他们会好奇地想要听不一样的教导，他们身边的老师，会讲述他们爱听的东西。
4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to myths.
他们不再聆听真理，反倒流连于谬误。
5 But you be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
你要时刻保持明智，忍受磨难，进行传福音的工作，完成你的职责。
6 For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
我即将被牺牲；我离世的时候即将到来。
7 I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
我已进行了一场良善的战斗，已跑完比赛，已坚持对上帝的信。
8 From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
现在有一个奖励留给了我，那是因遵循好事和正直良善而获得的冠冕。主（他是总能正确行事的法官）会在那一天给我这个冠冕。不只是给我，也给渴望他到来的所有人。
9 Be diligent to come to me soon,
请尽快到我这边来。。
10 for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

14 Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his works,

16 At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.
