- Kapitel 4 -

1
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
Preach the Word. Be ready when it is convenient and when it is not. Reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all patience and teaching.
3
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. They will be tickling their hearing.
4
They will turn their hearing away from the truth, and they will turn aside to myths.
5
But you, be soberminded in all things. Suffer hardship; do the work of an evangelist; fulfill your service.
6
For I am already being poured out. The time of my departure has come.
7
I have competed in the good contest; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.
8
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.

Personal Concerns

9
Do your best to come to me quickly.
10
For Demas has left me. He loves this present world and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens went to Galatia, and Titus went to Dalmatia.
11
Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you because he is useful to me in the work.
12
Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.
13
The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, bring it when you come, and the books, especially the parchments.
14
Alexander the coppersmith displayed many evil deeds against me. The Lord will repay to him according to his deeds.
15
You also should guard yourself against him, because he greatly opposed our words.

The Lord Remains Faithful

16
At my first defense, no one stood with me. Instead, everyone left me. May it not be counted against them.
17
But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me so that, through me, the proclamation might be fully fulfilled, and that all the Gentiles might hear. I was rescued out of the lion’s mouth.
18
The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and will save me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Final Greetings

(Ephesians 6:21–24; Philippians 4:21–23)
19
Greet Priscilla, Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
20
Erastus remained at Corinth, but Trophimus I left sick at Miletus.
21
Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
22
May the Lord be with your spirit. May grace be with you.
1
I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:
2
preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.
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,
4
and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables.
5
But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and 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, the crown of righteousness is stored up 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.
