2 Timothy 4:6

2 Timothy 4:6

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.

The Abandoned Apostle

9 Be diligent to come to me quickly;

10 for ^aDemas has forsaken me, ^bhaving loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica—Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia.

11 Only Luke is with me. Get ^aMark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministry.

John Wesley's Notes

<< 2 Timothy 4:5

2 Timothy 4:7 >>

The time of my departure is at hand - So undoubtedly God had shown him. I am ready to be offered up - Literally, to be poured out, as the wine and oil were on the ancient sacrifices.
