2 Timothy 3:14–4:5

¹⁴But continue thou in those things which thou hast learned and which have been committed to thee. Knowing of whom thou hast learned them:

¹⁵And because from thy infancy thou hast known the holy scriptures which can instruct thee to salvation by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁶All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice:

¹⁷That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.

Chapter 4

I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming and his kingdom:

²Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine.

³For there shall be a time when they will not endure sound doctrine but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers having itching ears:

⁴And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.

⁵But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober.
