          DASV: 2 Timothy 4    

1 I solemnly charge you in the sight of God, and of Christ
Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his
appearing and his kingdom:
2 Preach the word; be ready in season and out; reprove, rebuke,
exhort with total patience and good teaching.
3 For there will come a time when people will not tolerate sound
teaching. But, they will heap up for themselves teachers
compatible with their own lusts, having itching ears.
4 And they will turn their ears away from the truth, turning
instead to myths.
5 But be self-controlled in all things, suffer hardship, do
the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
6 For I am already being poured out as an offering, and the
time of my departure is come.
7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course,
I have kept the faith.
8 Now there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which
the Lord, the righteous judge, will award me on that day; and
not to me only, but also to all those who long for his appearing.
9 Do your best to come to me soon.
10 For Demas deserted me, having loved this present world.
He went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus
to Dalmatia.
11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you;
for he is helpful to me in my ministry.
12 Now I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
13 When you come, bring the cloak that I left at Troas with
Carpus, and the scrolls, especially the parchments.
14 Alexander the coppersmith did me great evil. The Lord will
repay him according to his deeds.
15 You must beware of him also; for he greatly opposed our
words.
16 At my first defense no one took my side, but they all
deserted me, may they not be held accountable for it.
17 But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, so that
through me the message would be fully proclaimed for all the
Gentiles to hear. And I was delivered out of the lion’s mouth.
18 The Lord will deliver me from every evil attack, and bring
me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To whom be the glory
forever and ever. Amen.
19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the family of Onesiphorus.
20 Erastus stayed at Corinth. I left Trophimus sick at
Miletus.
21 Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus, Pudens,
Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers sent their greetings.
22 The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
