I adjure you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is about to judge the living and the dead - by his appearing and his kingdom, I adjure you -
| ܐܟܪܙ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܩܘܡ ܒܚܦܝܛܘܬܐ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܐܟܤ ܘܟܘܢ ܒܟܠܗ ܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܘܝܘܠܦܢܐ | 2 |
proclaim the message, be urgent in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, encourage, with never-failing patience and teaching.
| ܢܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܠܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܚܠܝܡܐ ܠܐ ܢܫܬܡܥܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܪܓܝܓܬܗܘܢ ܢܤܓܘܢ ܠܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܒܚܘܬܚܬܐ ܕܡܫܡܥܬܗܘܢ | 3 |
For a time will come when they will not listen to wholesome teaching, but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will heap up for themselves teachers upon teachers to satisfy their own fancies.
| ܘܡܢ ܫܪܪܐ ܢܗܦܟܘܢ ܐܕܢܗܘܢ ܠܫܘܥܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܢܤܛܘܢ | 4 |
They will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to myths.

But as for you, be always self-controlled, face hardships, do the work of a missionary, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
| ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܟܝܠ ܡܬܢܩܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܙܒܢܐ ܕܐܫܬܪܐ ܡܛܐ | 6 |
I for my part am a libation already being poured in sacrifice; and the time of my unmooring is at hand.
| ܐܓܘܢܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܐܬܟܬܫܬ ܘܪܗܛܝ ܫܠܡܬ ܘܗܝܡܢܘܬܝ ܢܛܪܬ | 7 |
I have fought in the glorious contest; I have run the race; I have kept the faith.
| ܘܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܢܛܝܪ ܠܝ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܕܢܦܪܥܝܘܗܝ ܠܝ ܡܪܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܕܝܢܐ ܟܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܠܝ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܚܒܘ ܠܓܠܝܢܗ | 8 |
Henceforth there is laid up for me the garland of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that Day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
| ܢܬܒܛܠ ܠܟ ܕܬܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܒܥܓܠ | 9 |
Do your best to come to me speedily,
| ܕܡܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܒܩܢܝ ܘܐܚܒ ܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܠܬܤܠܘܢܝܩܐ ܩܪܤܩܘܤ ܠܓܠܛܝܐ ܛܛܘܤ ܠܕܠܡܛܝܐ (aiōn g165) | 10 |
for Demas has deserted me for love of this present world, and is gone to Thessalonica; Crescens is gone to Galatia; Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
| ܠܘܩܐ ܗܘ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܥܡܝ ܠܡܪܩܘܤ ܕܒܪ ܘܐܝܬܝܗܝ ܥܡܟ ܥܗܢ ܠܝ ܓܝܪ ܠܬܫܡܫܬܐ | 11 |
Luke only is with me. Pick up Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me in my ministry.
| ܠܛܘܟܝܩܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܫܕܪܬ ܠܐܦܤܘܤ | 12 |
Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
| ܒܝܬ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܒܩܬ ܒܛܪܘܐܘܤ ܠܘܬ ܩܪܦܘܤ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܝܬܝܗܝ ܘܟܬܒܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܟܪܟܐ ܕܡܓܠܐ | 13 |
When you come, bring the cloak I left in Troas with Carpus; also my books, but especially my parchments.
| ܐܠܟܤܢܕܪܤ ܩܝܢܝܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܚܘܝܢܝ ܦܪܥ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ | 14 |
Alexander, the coppersmith, manifested bitter hostility toward me. The Lord will requite him according to his works.
| ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܕܗܪ ܡܢܗ ܛܒ ܓܝܪ ܙܩܝܦ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܡܠܝܢ | 15 |
Be also on your guard against him, for he has violently opposed my arguments.
| ܒܡܦܩ ܒܪܘܚܝ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܝ ܐܠܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫܒܩܘܢܝ ܠܐ ܬܬܚܫܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܕܐ | 16 |
At the time of my first defense no one stood by me; on the contrary they all deserted me - may it not be laid to their charge!
| ܡܪܝ ܕܝܢ ܩܡ ܠܝ ܘܚܝܠܢܝ ܕܒܝ ܟܪܘܙܘܬܐ ܬܫܬܠܡ ܘܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܐܬܦܨܝܬ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܐ ܕܐܪܝܐ | 17 |
Nevertheless the Lord Jesus stood by me, and strengthened my heart, that through me full proclamation of the gospel might be made, and the Gentiles might hear it; and I was rescued from the lion’s jaws.
| ܘܢܦܨܝܢܝ ܡܪܝ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܥܒܕ ܒܝܫ ܘܢܚܝܢܝ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܕܠܗ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ (aiōn g165) | 18 |
And the Lord will rescue me from every evil assault, and will preserve me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever! Amen! (aiōn g165)

Erastus remained at Corinth; Trophimus I left behind me ill at Miletus.
| ܢܬܒܛܠ ܠܟ ܕܩܕܡ ܤܬܘܐ ܬܐܬܐ ܫܐܠ ܒܫܠܡܟ ܐܘܒܘܠܘܤ ܘܦܘܕܤ ܘܠܝܢܘܤ ܘܩܠܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܚܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ | 21 |
Do try to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and so do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brotherhood.
| ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܥܡ ܪܘܚܟ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟ ܐܡܝܢ | 22 |
The Lord Jesus be with your spirit. Grace be with you all.
