2 Timothy 4
1 I give this solemn command before God and Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and because of his appearing and his kingdom:
ⲁ̅ϯⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ
2 Preach the word; be ready when it is convenient and when it is not. Reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all patience and teaching.
ⲃ̅ⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲕ ϩⲓϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϫⲡⲓⲟ ϩⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲙ ⲙⲛⲧϩⲁⲣϣϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ
3 For the time will come when people will not endure sound teaching. Instead, they will heap up for themselves teachers according to their own desires, who say what their itching ears want to hear.
ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲁⲛⲉⲭⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟϫ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϫⲡⲟ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲥⲁϩ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ϩⲱϩ
4 They will turn their hearing away from the truth, and they will turn aside to myths.

5 But you, be sober-minded in all things. Suffer hardship; do the work of an evangelist; fulfill your service.

6 For I am already being poured out. The time of my departure has come.

7 I have competed in the good contest; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.

8 The crown of righteousness has been reserved for me, 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.

10 For Demas has left me. He loves this present world and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens went to Galatia, and Titus went to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you because he is useful to me in the work.

13 The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, bring it when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.

14 Alexander the coppersmith displayed many evil deeds against me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

15 You also should guard yourself against him, because he greatly opposed our words.

16 At my first defense, no one stood with me. Instead, everyone left me. May it not be counted against them.

17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me so that, through me, the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear it; and that I was rescued out of the lion's mouth.
