2 Timothy 4:6
Compare all
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.  
12 And aTychicus I have sent to Ephesus.  
13 Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.
14 aAlexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works.  
15 You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words.
16 At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. aMay it not be charged against them.  

The Lord Is Faithful

17 aBut the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, bso that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered cout of the mouth of the lion.  
18 aAnd the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. bTo Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!  

Come Before Winter

19 Greet aPrisca and Aquila, and the household of bOnesiphorus.  
20 aErastus stayed in Corinth, but bTrophimus I have left in Miletus sick.

2 Timothy 4:6

For I am now ready to be offered - · I am already poured out as a libation. See the note on Philippians 2:17. He considers himself as on the eve of being sacrificed, and looks upon his blood as the libation which was poured on the sacrificial offering. He could not have spoken thus positively had not the sentence of death been already passed upon him.
