2 Timothy 4

1 I earnestly declare (therefore *K*) (I myself *k*) before God and (Lord *K*) Christ Jesus who is being about to judge [the] living and [the] dead, (and *N(K)O*) by the appearing of Him and the kingdom of Him,

I do fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge living and dead at his manifestation and his reign —

2 do preach the word, do be ready in season [and] out of season, do convict, do rebuke, [and] do exhort with complete patience and with instruction.

preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching,

3 There will be for a time when sound teaching not they will endure, but according to [their] own (*k*) desires to themselves they will gather around [them] teachers having an itching ear;

for there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers — itching in the hearing,

4 and from indeed the truth hearing they will turn away, unto however myths they will be turned aside.

and indeed, from the truth the hearing they shall turn away, and to the fables they shall be turned aside.

5 You yourself however do be sober in all things, do endure afflictions, [the] work do perform of an evangelist, the ministry of you do fully carry out.

And thou — watch in all things; suffer evil; do the work of one proclaiming good news; of thy ministration make full assurance,

6 I myself for already am being poured out, and the time of the departure (of me *N(k)O*) has come.

for I am already being poured out, and the time of my release hath arrived;

7 The good (*k*) fight I have fought, the race I have finished, the faith I have kept;

the good strife I have striven, the course I have finished, the faith I have kept,

8 From now on is laid up for me the of righteousness crown which will award to me the Lord in that [very] day, the righteous judge; not only however to me myself, but also to all those already loving the appearing of Him.

henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of the righteousness that the Lord — the Righteous Judge — shall give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving his manifestation.

9 do be diligent to come to me soon.

Be diligent to come unto me quickly,

15 whom also you yourself do yourself beware of; exceedingly for (has opposed *N(k)O*) our own message.

of whom also do thou beware, for greatly hath he stood against our words;

16 In the first of my defense no [one] me (attended *N(k)O*) but all me (deserted; *NK(o)*) Not to them would it be charged!

in my first defence no one stood with me, but all forsook me, (may it not be reckoned to them!)

and the Lord stood by me, and did strengthen me, that through me the preaching might be fully assured, and all the nations might hear, and I was freed out of the mouth of a lion,

and the Lord shall free me from every evil work, and shall save [me] — to his heavenly kingdom; to whom [is] the glory to the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
