2 Timothy 3:13–4:8

13 But evil men and seducers shall qwax worse and worse, deceiving, and qqbeing deceived. 14 But rcontinue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that sfrom a child tthou hast known uthe holy vscriptures, wwhich are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 xAll scripture is given by inspiration of God, and yis profitable for ydoctrine, for zreproof, for acorrection, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That bthe man of God may be perfect, ||throughly furnished cunto all dgood works.

4 aI charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, bwho shall judge the quick and the dead at chis appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant din season, eout of season; freprove, grebuke, hexhort with all ilongsuffering and doctrine. 3 For jthe time will come when they will not kendure lsound doctrine; but mafter their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and nshall be turned unto ofables. 5 But pwatch thou in all things, qendure afflictions, do the work of ran evangelist, ||smake full proof of thy ministry. 6 For I am now tready to be offered, and the time of my udeparture is at hand. 7 vI have fought a good fight, I have wfinished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 xHenceforth there yis laid up for me za crown of righteousness, which the Lord, zzthe righteous judge, shall give me at athat day: and not to me only, but unto all aathem also that love bhis appearing.
