< 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,
⸀Διαμαρτύρομαιἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ⸂Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ, τοῦ μέλλοντος κρίνειν ζῶντας καὶνεκρούς, ⸀καὶ τὴν ἐπιφάνειαν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ·
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.
κήρυξον τὸν λόγον, ἐπίστηθι εὐκαίρως ἀκαίρως, ἔλεγξον, ἐπιτίμησον, παρακάλεσον, ἐν πάσῃ μακροθυμίᾳ καὶ διδαχῇ.
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;
ἔσται γὰρ καιρὸς ὅτε τῆς ὑγιαινούσης διδασκαλίας οὐκ ἀνέξονται, ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὰς ⸂ἰδίας ἐπιθυμίας ἑαυτοῖς ἐπισωρεύσουσιν διδασκάλους κνηθόμενοι τὴν ἀκοήν,
4 and from indeed the truth hearing they will turn away, unto however myths they will be turned aside.
καὶ ἀπὸ μὲν τῆς ἀληθείας τὴν ἀκοὴν ἀποστρέψουσιν, ἐπὶ δὲ τοὺς μύθους ἐκτραπήσονται.
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.
σὺ δὲ νῆφε ἐν πᾶσιν, κακοπάθησον, ἔργον ποίησον εὐαγγελιστοῦ, τὴν διακονίαν σου πληροφόρησον.
6 I myself for already am being poured out, and the time of the departure (of me *N(k)O*) has come.
Ἐγὼ γὰρ ἤδη σπένδομαι, καὶ ὁ καιρὸς τῆς ⸂ἀναλύσεώς μου ἐφέστηκεν.
7 The good (*k*) fight I have fought, the race I have finished, the faith I have kept;
τὸν ⸂καλὸν ἀγῶνα ἠγώνισμαι, τὸν δρόμον τετέλεκα, τὴν πίστιν τετήρηκα·
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.
λοιπὸν ἀπόκειταί μοι ὁ τῆς δικαιοσύνης στέφανος, ὃν ἀποδώσει μοι ὁ κύριος ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, ὁ δίκαιος κριτής, οὐ μόνον δὲ ἐμοὶ ἀλλὰ καὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς ἠγαπηκόσι τὴν ἐπιφάνειαν αὐτοῦ.
9 do be diligent to come to me soon.
Σπούδασον ἐλθεῖν πρός με ταχέως·
10 Demas for me (has deserted *NK(o)*) having loved the present age and he has gone to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, [and] Titus to Dalmatia; (aiōn g165)
Δημᾶς γάρ με ⸀ἐγκατέλιπενἀγαπήσας τὸν νῦν αἰῶνα, καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Θεσσαλονίκην, Κρήσκης εἰς Γαλατίαν, Τίτος εἰς Δαλματίαν· (aiōn g165)
11 Luke is alone with me. Mark having taken do bring [him] with yourself; he is for to me useful for [the] ministry.
Λουκᾶς ἐστιν μόνος μετʼ ἐμοῦ. Μᾶρκον ἀναλαβὼν ἄγε μετὰ σεαυτοῦ, ἔστιν γάρ μοι εὔχρηστος εἰς διακονίαν,
12 Tychicus however I have sent to Ephesus.
Τυχικὸν δὲ ἀπέστειλα εἰς Ἔφεσον.
13 The cloak that (I left *NK(o)*) in Troas with Carpus, [upon] coming do bring and the books especially the parchments.
τὸν φαιλόνην, ὃν ⸀ἀπέλιπονἐν Τρῳάδι παρὰ Κάρπῳ, ἐρχόμενος φέρε, καὶ τὰ βιβλία, μάλιστα τὰς μεμβράνας.
14 Alexander the coppersmith great to me harm did; (Will render *N(k)O*) to him the Lord according to the deeds of him;
Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ χαλκεὺς πολλά μοι κακὰ ἐνεδείξατο— ⸀ἀποδώσειαὐτῷ ὁ κύριος κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ—
15 whom also you yourself do yourself beware of; exceedingly for (has opposed *N(k)O*) our own message.
ὃν καὶ σὺ φυλάσσου, λίαν γὰρ ⸀ἀντέστητοῖς ἡμετέροις λόγοις.
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!
Ἐν τῇ πρώτῃ μου ἀπολογίᾳ οὐδείς μοι ⸀παρεγένετο ἀλλὰ πάντες με ⸀ἐγκατέλιπον μὴ αὐτοῖς λογισθείη—
17 And the Lord me stood by and He strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation may be fully accomplished, and (may hear *N(k)O*) all the Gentiles, And I was delivered out of [the] mouth of the lion.
ὁ δὲ κύριός μοι παρέστη καὶ ἐνεδυνάμωσέν με, ἵνα διʼ ἐμοῦ τὸ κήρυγμα πληροφορηθῇ καὶ ⸀ἀκούσωσινπάντα τὰ ἔθνη, καὶ ἐρρύσθην ἐκ στόματος λέοντος.
18 (and *k*) Will deliver me the Lord from every deed evil and will bring [me] safely into the kingdom of Him heavenly; to whom [is] the glory unto the ages of the ages, Amen. (aiōn g165)
⸀ῥύσεταίμε ὁ κύριος ἀπὸ παντὸς ἔργου πονηροῦ καὶ σώσει εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ τὴν ἐπουράνιον· ᾧ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων, ἀμήν. (aiōn g165)
19 do greet Prisca and Aquila and the of Onesiphorus house.
Ἄσπασαι Πρίσκαν καὶ Ἀκύλαν καὶ τὸν Ὀνησιφόρου οἶκον.
20 Erastus remained in Corinth; Trophimus however (I left *NK(o)*) in Miletus ailing.
Ἔραστος ἔμεινεν ἐν Κορίνθῳ, Τρόφιμον δὲ ⸀ἀπέλιπονἐν Μιλήτῳ ἀσθενοῦντα.
21 do be eager before winter to come. Greets you Eubulus and Pudens and Linus and Claudia and the brothers all.
Σπούδασον πρὸ χειμῶνος ἐλθεῖν. Ἀσπάζεταί σε Εὔβουλος καὶ Πούδης καὶ Λίνος καὶ Κλαυδία καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ πάντες.
22 The Lord (Jesus Christ *K*) [be] with the spirit of you. Grace [be] with you all (Amen. *KO*) (to Timothy second [epistle] of the Ephesian church first overseer having been chosen It was written from Rome when from second time stood Paul before Caesar Nero *K*)
Ὁ ⸀κύριοςμετὰ τοῦ πνεύματός σου. ἡ χάρις μεθʼ ⸀ὑμῶν
