2 Timothy 3:14–4:5

¹⁴But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed. You know those who taught you,^{ax 15}and you know that from infancy you have known the sacred Scriptures,^ay which are able to give you wisdom for salvation^az through faith in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶All Scripture is inspired by God^Aba and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, ¹⁷so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.^bb

FULFILL YOUR MINISTRY

4I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge^bc the living and the dead,^bd and because of his appearing and his kingdom:^{be 2}Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, and encourage with great patience and teaching. ³For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine,^bf but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear what they want to hear. ⁴They will turn away from hearing the truth and will turn aside to myths.^{a 5}But as for you, exercise self-control in everything, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist,^b fulfill your ministry.
