16 aAll Scripture is 1inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for 2training in righteousness;

17 so that athe man of God may be adequate, bequipped for every good work.

Chapter 4

“Preach the Word”

1 aI solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to bjudge the living and the dead, and by His cappearing and His kingdom:

2 preach athe word; be ready in season and out of season; breprove, rebuke, exhort, with 1great cpatience and instruction.

3 For athe time will come when they will not endure bsound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,

4 and awill turn away their ears from the truth and bwill turn aside to myths.
