2 Timothy 4 (WEBP)

[1] I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:
[2] preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.
[3] For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts,
[4] and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables.
[5] But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.
[6] For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
[7] I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
[8] From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
[9] Be diligent to come to me soon,
[10] for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; and Titus to Dalmatia.
[11] Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
[12] But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
[13] Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.
[14] Alexander the coppersmith did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
[15] Beware of him, for he greatly opposed our words.
[16] At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.
[17] But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
[18] And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
[19] Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
[20] Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.
[21] Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
[22] The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

Young’s Literal Translation

2 Timothy 4 (YLT)

[1] I do fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge living and dead at his manifestation and his reign-
[2] preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching,
[3] for there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers-itching in the hearing,
[4] and indeed, from the truth the hearing they shall turn away, and to the fables they shall be turned aside.
[5] And thou-watch in all things; suffer evil; do the work of one proclaiming good news; of thy ministration make full assurance,
[6] for I am already being poured out, and the time of my release hath arrived;
[7] the good strife I have striven, the course I have finished, the faith I have kept,
[8] henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of the righteousness that the Lord-the Righteous Judge-shall give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those loving his manifestation.
[9] Be diligent to come unto me quickly,
[10] for Demas forsook me, having loved the present age, and went on to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia,
[11] Lukas only is with me; Markus having taken, bring with thyself, for he is profitable to me for ministration;
[12] and Tychicus I sent to Ephesus;
[13] the cloak that I left in Troas with Carpus, coming, bring thou and the books-especially the parchments.
[14] Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil; may the Lord repay to him according to his works,
[15] of whom also do thou beware, for greatly hath he stood against our words;
[16] in my first defence no one stood with me, but all forsook me, (may it not be reckoned to them!)
[17] and the Lord stood by me, and did strengthen me, that through me the preaching might be fully assured, and all the nations might hear, and I was freed out of the mouth of a lion,
[18] and the Lord shall free me from every evil work, and shall save me-to his heavenly kingdom; to whom is the glory to the ages of the ages! Amen.
[19] Salute Prisca and Aquilas, and Onesiphorus’ household;
[20] Erastus did remain in Corinth, and Trophimus I left in Miletus infirm;
[21] be diligent to come before winter. Salute thee doth Eubulus, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
[22] The Lord Jesus Christ is with thy spirit; the grace is with you! Amen.
