Preach the Word
I testify before God and Christ Jesus, who is about to judge living and dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom,
I testify before God and Christ Jesus, who is about to judge living and dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom,
I solemnly urge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when he comes to set up his Kingdom:
proclaim the word; be urgent in season [and] out of season, convict, rebuke, encourage, with all longsuffering and doctrine.
Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.
For 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;
For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear.
and they will turn away their ear from the truth, and will have turned aside to fables.
They will reject the truth and chase after myths.
But *thou*, be sober in all things, bear evils, do [the] work of an evangelist, fill up the full measure of thy ministry.
But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you.
For *I* am already being poured out, and the time of my release is come.
As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near.
I have combated the good combat, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.
Henceforth the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will render to me in that day; but not only to me, but also to all who love his appearing.
And now the prize awaits me — the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing.
