Preach the Word
1 I acharge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, bwho will judge the living and the dead2 at His appearing and His kingdom:
2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. aConvince, brebuke, cexhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
3 aFor the time will come when they will not endure bsound doctrine, cbut according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and abe turned aside to fables.
5 But you be watchful in all things, aendure afflictions, do the work of ban evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
Paul’s Valedictory
6 For aI am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of bmy departure is at hand.
7 aI have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
8 Finally, there is laid up for me athe crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous bJudge, will give to me con that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.
