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.

2 Timothy 4 (KJVS)
[1] I G1473 charge G1263 (PresMidPasDepInd) [thee] therefore G3767 before G1799 God G2316, and G2532 the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547, who G3588 shall G3195 (PresActPtc) judge G2919 (PresActInf) the quick G2198 (PresActPtc) and G2532 the dead G3498 at G2596 his G846 appearing G2015 and G2532 his G846 kingdom G932;
[2] Preach G2784 (AorActImpr) the word G3056; be instant G2186 (Aor2ActImpr) in season G2122, out of season G171; reprove G1651 (AorActImpr), rebuke G2008 (AorActImpr), exhort G3870 (AorActImpr) with G1722 all G3956 longsuffering G3115 and G2532 doctrine G1322.
[3] For G1063 the time G2540 will come G2071 (FutInd) when G3753 they will G430 not G3756 endure G430 (FutMidDepInd) sound G5198 (PresActPtc) doctrine G1319; but G235 after G2596 their own G2398 lusts G1939 shall they heap G2002 (FutActInd) to themselves G1438 teachers G1320, having itching G2833 (PresPasPtc) ears G189;
[4] And G2532 they shall turn away G3303 G654 (FutActInd) [their] ears G189 from G575 the truth G225, and G1161 shall be turned G1624 (Fut2PasInd) unto G1909 fables G3454.
[5] But G1161 watch G3525 (PresActImpr) thou G4771 in G1722 all things G3956, endure afflictions G2553 (AorActImpr), do G4160 (AorActImpr) the work G2041 of an evangelist G2099, make full proof G4135 (AorActImpr) of thy G4675 ministry G1248.
[6] For G1063 I G1473 am G4689 now G2235 ready to be offered G4689 (PresPasInd), and G2532 the time G2540 of my G1699 departure G359 is at hand G2186 (PerfActInd).
[7] I have fought G75 (PerfMidPasDepInd) a good G2570 fight G73, I have finished G5055 (PerfActInd) [my] course G1408, I have kept G5083 (PerfActInd) the faith G4102:
[8] Henceforth G3063 there is laid up G606 (PresMidPasDepInd) for me G3427 a crown G4735 of righteousness G1343, which G3739 the Lord G2962, the righteous G1342 judge G2923, shall give G591 (FutActInd) me G3427 at G1722 that G1565 day G2250: and G1161 not G3756 to me G1698 only G3440, but G235 unto all them G3956 also G2532 that love G25 (PerfActPtc) his G846 appearing G2015.
[9] Do thy diligence G4704 (AorActImpr) to come G2064 (Aor2ActInf) shortly G5030 unto G4314 me G3165:
[10] For G1063 Demas G1214 hath forsaken G1459 (Aor2ActInd) me G3165, having loved G25 (AorActPtc) this present G3568 world G165, and G2532 is departed G4198 (AorPasDepInd) unto G1519 Thessalonica G2332; Crescens G2913 to G1519 Galatia G1053, Titus G5103 unto G1519 Dalmatia G1149.
[11] Only G3441 Luke G3065 is G2076 (PresInd) with G3326 me G1700. Take G353 (Aor2ActPtc) Mark G3138, and bring him G71 (PresActImpr) with G3326 thee G4572: for G1063 he is G2076 (PresInd) profitable G2173 to me G3427 for G1519 the ministry G1248.
[12] And G1161 Tychicus G5190 have I sent G649 (AorActInd) to G1519 Ephesus G2181.
[13] The cloke G5341 that G3739 I left G620 (Aor2ActInd) at G1722 Troas G5174 with G3844 Carpus G2591, when thou comest G2064 (PresMidPasDepPtc), bring G5342 (PresActImpr) [with thee], and G2532 the books G975, [but] especially G3122 the parchments G3200.
[14] Alexander G223 the coppersmith G5471 did G1731 (AorMidInd) me G3427 much G4183 evil G2556: the Lord G2962 reward G591 (Aor2ActOpt) him G846 according to G2596 his G846 works G2041:
[15] Of whom G3739 be G5442 thou G4771 ware G5442 (PresMidImpr) also G2532; for G1063 he hath G436 greatly G3029 withstood G436 (PerfActInd) our G2251 words G3056.
[16] At G1722 my G3450 first G4413 answer G627 no man G3762 stood G4836 (Aor2MidDepInd) with me G3427, but G235 all G3956 [men] forsook G1459 (Aor2ActInd) me G3165: [I pray God] that it may G3049 not G3361 be laid G3049 (AorPasDepOpt) to their charge G846.
[17] Notwithstanding G1161 the Lord G2962 stood G3936 (Aor2ActInd) with me G3427, and G2532 strengthened G1743 (AorActInd) me G3165; that G2443 by G1223 me G1700 the preaching G2782 might be fully known G4135 (AorPasSubj), and G2532 [that] all G3956 the Gentiles G1484 might hear G191 (AorActSubj): and G2532 I was delivered G4506 (AorPasInd) out of G1537 the mouth G4750 of the lion G3023.
[18] And G2532 the Lord G2962 shall deliver G4506 (FutMidDepInd) me G3165 from G575 every G3956 evil G4190 work G2041, and G2532 will preserve G4982 (FutActInd) [me] unto G1519 his G846 heavenly G2032 kingdom G932: to whom G3739 [be] glory G1391 for G1519 ever G165 and ever G165. Amen G281.
[19] Salute G782 (AorMidDepImpr) Prisca G4251 and G2532 Aquila G207, and G2532 the household G3624 of Onesiphorus G3683.
[20] Erastus G2037 abode G3306 (AorActInd) at G1722 Corinth G2882: but G1161 Trophimus G5161 have I left G620 (Aor2ActInd) at G1722 Miletum G3399 sick G770 (PresActPtc).
[21] Do thy diligence G4704 (AorActImpr) to come G2064 (Aor2ActInf) before G4253 winter G5494. Eubulus G2103 greeteth G782 (PresMidPasDepInd) thee G4571, and G2532 Pudens G4227, and G2532 Linus G3044, and G2532 Claudia G2803, and G2532 all G3956 the brethren G80.
[22] The Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 [be] with G3326 thy G4675 spirit G4151. Grace G5485 [be] with G3326 you G5216. Amen G281. «[The second G1208 [epistle] unto G4314 Timotheus G5095, ordained G5500 (AorPasPtc) the first G4413 bishop G1985 of the church G1577 of the Ephesians G2180, was written G1125 (Aor2PasDepSubj) from G575 Rome G4516, when G3753 Paul G3972 was brought before G3936 (Aor2ActInd) Nero G3505 G2541 the second G1537 G1208 time G2540.]»
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.
