< 2 Timothy 4 >

1 I command you therefore before God and Meshikha Yeshua, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his Kingdom:
ⲁ̅ϯⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲙⲧⲟ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲓⲏⲥ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙⲛ ⲧⲉϥⲙⲛⲧⲣⲣⲟ
2 preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.
ⲃ̅ⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲙⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧⲕ ϩⲓϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ϫⲡⲓⲟ ϩⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲩ ϩⲙ ⲙⲛⲧϩⲁⲣϣϩⲏⲧ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ
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;
ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲛⲁⲁⲛⲉⲭⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟϫ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲛⲁϫⲡⲟ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲉⲛⲥⲁϩ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ϩⲱϩ
4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to myths.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲕⲧⲟ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲙⲁⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲙⲉ ⲥⲉⲃⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲉϣϥⲱ
5 But you be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

6 For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.

7 I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.

8 From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, 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.

9 Be diligent to come to me soon,

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 Luqa is with me. Take Markos, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.

12 But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

13 Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.

14 Alexandros, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his works,

15 of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed our words.

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

17 But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the non-Jewish people might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom; to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

20 Erastus remained at Corinth, and I left Trophimus at Miletus, ill.

21 Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.

22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
