2 Timothy 3:14–4:5

¹⁴But thou, abide in those things which thou hast learned, and of which thou hast been fully persuaded, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; ¹⁵and that from a child thou hast known the sacred letters, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶Every scripture is divinely inspired, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; ¹⁷that the man of God may be complete, fully fitted to every good work.

Chapter 4

¹I testify before God and Christ Jesus, who is about to judge living and dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom, ²proclaim the word; be urgent in season and out of season, convict, rebuke, encourage, with all longsuffering and doctrine. ³For the time shall be when they will not bear sound teaching; but according to their own lusts will heap up to themselves teachers, having an itching ear; ⁴and they will turn away their ear from the truth, and will have turned aside to fables. ⁵But thou, be sober in all things, bear evils, do the work of an evangelist, fill up the full measure of thy ministry.
