2 Timothy 4:2-8

2preach 1the word; be ready in season and out of season; 2reprove, rebuke, exhort, with 3great 4patience and instruction. 3For 5the time will come when they will not endure 6sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4and 7will turn away their ears from the truth and 8will turn aside to myths. 5But you, 9be sober in all things, 10endure hardship, do the work of an 11evangelist, fulfill your 12ministry.

6For I am already being 13poured out as a drink offering, and the time of 14my departure has come. 7 15I have fought the good fight, I have finished 16the course, I have kept 17the faith; 8in the future there 18is laid up for me 19the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on 20that day; and not only to me, but also to 21all who have loved His 22appearing.
