2 Timothy 3:14–4:5

¹⁴But you must ^scontinue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, ¹⁵and that from childhood you have known ^tthe Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

^16uAll Scripture is given by inspiration of God, ^vand is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for ³instruction in righteousness, ^17wthat the man of God may be complete, ^xthoroughly equipped for every good work.

Preach the Word

4I ^acharge you ¹therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, ^bwho will judge the living and the dead ²at His appearing and His kingdom: ²Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. ^cConvince, ^drebuke, ^eexhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. ^3fFor the time will come when they will not endure ^gsound doctrine, ^hbut according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; ⁴and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and ⁱbe turned aside to fables. ⁵But you be watchful in all things, ^jendure afflictions, do the work of ^kan evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
