2 Timothy 4

1 I earnestly declare (therefore *K) (I myself *k) before God and (Lord *K) Christ Jesus who is being about to judge [the] living and [the] dead, (and *N+KO) by the appearing of Him and the kingdom of Him,

I give this solemn command before God and Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and because of his appearing and his kingdom:

2 do preach the word, do be ready in season [and] out of season, do convict, do rebuke, [and] do exhort with complete patience and with instruction.

Preach the word; be ready when it is convenient and when it is not. Reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all patience and teaching.

3 There will be for a time when sound teaching not they will endure, but according to [their] own desires to themselves they will gather around [them] teachers having an itching ear;

For the time will come when people will not endure sound teaching. Instead, they will heap up for themselves teachers according to their own desires, who say what their itching ears want to hear.

4 and from indeed the truth hearing they will turn away, unto however myths they will be turned aside.

They will turn their hearing away from the truth, and they will turn aside to myths.

5 You yourself however do be sober in all things, do endure afflictions, [the] work do perform of an evangelist, the ministry of you do fully carry out.

But you, be sober-minded in all things. Suffer hardship; do the work of an evangelist; fulfill your service.

6 I myself for already am being poured out, and the time of the departure (of me *N+kO) has come.

For I am already being poured out. The time of my departure has come.

7 The good fight I have fought, the race I have finished, the faith I have kept;

I have competed in the good contest; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.

8 From now on is laid up for me the of righteousness crown which will award to me the Lord in that [very] day, the righteous judge; not only however to me myself, but also to all those already loving the appearing of Him.

The crown of righteousness has been reserved 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.

9 do be diligent to come to me soon.

Do your best to come to me quickly.

Alexander the coppersmith displayed many evil deeds against me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

15 whom also you yourself do yourself beware of; exceedingly for (has opposed *N+kO) our own message.

You also should guard yourself against him, because he greatly opposed our words.

16 In the first of my defense no [one] me (attended *N+kO) but all me (deserted; *NK+o) Not to them would it be charged!

At my first defense, no one stood with me. Instead, everyone left me. May it not be counted against them.

17 And the Lord me stood by and He strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation may be fully accomplished, and (may hear *N+kO) all the Gentiles, And I was delivered out of [the] mouth of the lion.

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me so that, through me, the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear it; and that I was rescued out of the lion's mouth.
