¹ I charge thee in the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the quick and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom;

² preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

³ For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts;

⁴ and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables.

⁶ For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure is come.

¹⁴ Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord will render to him according to his works:

¹⁵ of whom be thou ware also; for he greatly withstood our words.

¹⁶ At my first defence no one took my part, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their account.

¹⁷ But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

¹⁸ The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

¹⁹ Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
