I <G1473> charge <G1263> <G5736> [thee] therefore <G3767> before <G1799> God <G2316>, and <G2532> the Lord <G2962> Jesus <G2424> Christ <G5547>, who <G3588> shall <G3195> <G5723> judge <G2919> <G5721> the quick <G2198> <G5723> and <G2532> the dead <G3498> at <G2596> his <G0848> appearing <G2015> and <G2532> his <G0848> kingdom <G0932>;
2
Preach <G2784> <G5657> the word <G3056>; be instant <G2186> <G5628> in season <G2122>, out of season <G0171>; reprove <G1651> <G5657>, rebuke <G2008> <G5657>, exhort <G3870> <G5657> with <G1722> all <G3956> longsuffering <G3115> and <G2532> doctrine <G1322>.
3
For <G1063> the time <G2540> will come <G2071> <G5704> when <G3753> they will <G0430> <G0000> not <G3756> endure <G0430> <G5695> sound <G5198> <G5723> doctrine <G1319>; but <G0235> after <G2596> their own <G2398> lusts <G1939> shall they heap <G2002> <G5692> to themselves <G1438> teachers <G1320>, having itching <G2833> <G5746> ears <G0189>;
4
And <G2532> they shall turn away <G3303> <G0654> <G5692> [their] ears <G0189> from <G0575> the truth <G0225>, and <G1161> shall be turned <G1624> <G5691> unto <G1909> fables <G3454>.
5
But <G1161> watch <G3525> <G5720> thou <G4771> in <G1722> all things <G3956>, endure afflictions <G2553> <G5657>, do <G4160> <G5657> the work <G2041> of an evangelist <G2099>, make full proof <G4135> <G5657> of thy <G4675> ministry <G1248>.
6
For <G1063> I <G1473> am <G4689> <G0000> now <G2235> ready to be offered <G4689> <G5743>, and <G2532> the time <G2540> of my <G1699> departure <G0359> is at hand <G2186> <G5758>.
7
I have fought <G0075> <G5766> a good <G2570> fight <G0073>, I have finished <G5055> <G5758> [my] course <G1408>, I have kept <G5083> <G5758> the faith <G4102>:
8
Henceforth <G3063> there is laid up <G0606> <G5736> for me <G3427> a crown <G4735> of righteousness <G1343>, which <G3739> the Lord <G2962>, the righteous <G1342> judge <G2923>, shall give <G0591> <G5692> me <G3427> at <G1722> that <G1565> day <G2250>: and <G1161> not <G3756> to me <G1698> only <G3440>, but <G0235> unto all them <G3956> also <G2532> that love <G0025> <G5761> his <G0846> appearing <G2015>.
9
Do thy diligence <G4704> <G5657> to come <G2064> <G5629> shortly <G5030> unto <G4314> me <G3165>:
10
For <G1063> Demas <G1214> hath forsaken <G1459> <G5627> me, having loved <G0025> <G5660> this present <G3568> world <G0165>, and <G2532> is departed <G4198> <G5675> unto <G1519> Thessalonica <G2332>; Crescens <G2913> to <G1519> Galatia <G1053>, Titus <G5103> unto <G1519> Dalmatia <G1149>.
11
Only <G3441> Luke <G3065> is <G2076> <G5748> with <G3326> me <G1700>. Take <G0353> <G5631> Mark <G3138>, and bring him <G0071> <G5720> with <G3326> thee <G4572>: for <G1063> he is <G2076> <G5748> profitable <G2173> to me <G3427> for <G1519> the ministry <G1248>.
12
And <G1161> Tychicus <G5190> have I sent <G0649> <G5656> to <G1519> Ephesus <G2181>.
13
The cloke <G5341> that <G3739> I left <G0620> <G5627> at <G1722> Troas <G5174> with <G3844> Carpus <G2591>, when thou comest <G2064> <G5740>, bring <G5342> <G5720> [with thee], and <G2532> the books <G0975>, [but] especially <G3122> the parchments <G3200>.
14
Alexander <G0223> the coppersmith <G5471> did <G1731> <G5668> me <G3427> much <G4183> evil <G2556>: the Lord <G2962> reward <G0591> <G5630> him <G0846> according to <G2596> his <G0846> works <G2041>:
15
Of whom <G3739> be <G5442> <G0000> thou <G4771> ware <G5442> <G5732> also <G2532>; for <G1063> he hath <G0436> <G0000> greatly <G3029> withstood <G0436> <G5758> our <G2251> words <G3056>.
16
At <G1722> my <G3450> first <G4413> answer <G0627> no man <G3762> stood <G4836> <G5633> with me <G3427>, but <G0235> all <G3956> [men] forsook <G1459> <G5627> me <G3165>: [I pray God] that it may <G3049> <G0000> not <G3361> be laid <G3049> <G5678> to their charge <G0846>.
17
Notwithstanding <G1161> the Lord <G2962> stood <G3936> <G5627> with me <G3427>, and <G2532> strengthened <G1743> <G5656> me <G3165>; that <G2443> by <G1223> me <G1700> the preaching <G2782> might be fully known <G4135> <G5686>, and <G2532> [that] all <G3956> the Gentiles <G1484> might hear <G0191> <G5661>: and <G2532> I was delivered <G4506> <G5681> out of <G1537> the mouth <G4750> of the lion <G3023>.
18
And <G2532> the Lord <G2962> shall deliver <G4506> <G5695> me <G3165> from <G0575> every <G3956> evil <G4190> work <G2041>, and <G2532> will preserve <G4982> <G5692> [me] unto <G1519> his <G0848> heavenly <G2032> kingdom <G0932>: to whom <G3739> [be] glory <G1391> for <G1519> ever <G0165> and ever <G0165>. Amen <G0281>.
19
Salute <G0782> <G5663> Prisca <G4251> and <G2532> Aquila <G0207>, and <G2532> the household <G3624> of Onesiphorus <G3683>.
20
Erastus <G2037> abode <G3306> <G5656> at <G1722> Corinth <G2882>: but <G1161> Trophimus <G5161> have I left <G0620> <G5627> at <G1722> Miletum <G3399> sick <G0770> <G5723>.
21
Do thy diligence <G4704> <G5657> to come <G2064> <G5629> before <G4253> winter <G5494>. Eubulus <G2103> greeteth <G0782> <G5736> thee <G4571>, and <G2532> Pudens <G4227>, and <G2532> Linus <G3044>, and <G2532> Claudia <G2803>, and <G2532> all <G3956> the brethren <G0080>.
22
The Lord <G2962> Jesus <G2424> Christ <G5547> [be] with <G3326> thy <G4675> spirit <G4151>. Grace <G5485> [be] with <G3326> you <G5216>. Amen <G0281>. <The following was added by editors of the KJV:[The second <G1208> [epistle] unto <G4314> Timotheus <G5095>, ordained <G5500> <G5685> the first <G4413> bishop <G1985> of the church <G1577> of the Ephesians <G2180>, was written <G1125> <G5648> from <G0575> Rome <G4516>, when <G3752> Paul <G3972> was brought before <G3936> <G5627> Nero <G3505> the second <G1208> time <G2540>>
