2 Timothy 4

1 I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:

I attest thee before Aloha, and our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who is to judge the living and the dead at the revelation of his kingdom:

2 preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.

preach the word, and stand with diligence in season, and (that) which is not season; confute, and rebuke with all prolongedness of mind and doctrine.

3 For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts,

For the time will come, when sound doctrine they will not hear; but according to their desires will multiply to themselves teachers, in the itching of their hearing.

4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables.

And from the truth they will turn away their ear, but to fables will decline.

5 But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.

8 From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

And from now there is kept for me the crown of righteousness, which my Lord will give me in that day, because he is a righteous judge: yet, not only to me, but to all them who love his manifestation.

9 Be diligent to come to me soon,

BE careful to come to me speedily;

10 for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)

11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.

14 Alexander the coppersmith did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

But be thou also aware of him, for he is much uplifted against our words.

16 At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.

In the first defence no man was with me, but all of them left me. May this not be reckoned to them!

17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

But my Lord stood with me, that by me the preaching might be fulfilled, and (that) all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.
