BB 2TIM Chapter 4

4 I testifie therefore before God, & the Lorde Iesus Christe, which shall iudge the quicke and the dead at his appearyng, and his kingdome. 2 Preache the worde, be instant in season, out of season: Improue, rebuke, exhort in all long sufferyng and doctrine. 3 For the tyme wyll come, when they shall not suffer wholsome doctrine: but after their owne lustes, shal they whose eares itche, get the an heape of teachers: 4 And shall turne away their hearyng from the trueth, and shalbe turned vnto fables. 5 But watche thou in all thynges, suffer afflictions, do the worke of an Euangelist, fulfyll thy ministerie: 6 For I am nowe redie to be offered, & the tyme of my dissolution is at hande. 7 I haue fought a good fyght, I haue fulfylled my course, I haue kept ye faith. 8 Hencefoorth there is layde vp for me a crowne of ryghteousnesse, which the Lorde, the ryghteous iudge, shall geue me at that day: not to me only, but vnto the also yt haue loued his appearyng. 9 Do thy diligence to come shortly vnto me. 10 For Demas hath forsaken me, hauing loued this present worlde, and is departed vnto Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus vnto Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Takyng Marke and bryng him with thee, for he is profitable vnto me for ye ministration. 12 And Tychicus haue I sent to Ephesus. 13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, whe thou commest bring with thee, and the bookes, but specially the parchementes. 14 Alexander the coppersmith shewed me much euyll: The Lorde rewarde hym accordyng to his deedes. 15 Of whom be thou ware also: For he hath greatly withstande our preaching. 16 At my first aunsweryng, no man assisted me, but all forsoke me, I pray God yt it may not be layde to their charges: 17 Notwithstandyng, the Lorde assisted me, and strengthed me, that by me the preachyng should be fulfylled to the vtmost, and that all the gentiles should heare, and I was deliuered out of the mouth of the Lion. 18 And the Lorde shall delyuer me from euery euyll worke, & will preserue me vnto his heauenly kingdome: To who be prayse for euer and euer. Amen. 19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the housholde of Onesiphorus. 20 Erastus abode at Corinthum: But Trophimus haue I left at Miletum sicke. 21 Do thy diligece to come before winter. Eubolus greeteth thee, and Pudens, & Linus, and Claudia, & all the brethre. 22 The Lorde Iesus Christe be with thy spirite: Grace be with you. Amen. The seconde epistle vnto Timothe, was written from Rome, when Paul was presented the seconde tyme vnto the Emperour Nero.
