2 Timothy 4:1-7

1 1I solemnly exhort you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to 2judge the living and the dead, and by His 3appearing and His kingdom: 2preach 4the word; be ready 5in season and out of season; 6correct, rebuke, and 7exhort, with 8great 9patience and instruction. 3For 10the time will come when they will not tolerate 11sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires, 4and they 12will turn their ears away from the truth and 13will turn aside to myths. 5But as for you, 14use self-restraint in all things, 15endure hardship, do the work of an 16evangelist, fulfill your 17ministry.
