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

4and indeed, from the truth the hearing they shall turn away, and to the fables they shall be turned aside.
5But be thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry.
5But be self-controlled in all things, do without comfort, go on preaching the good news, completing the work which has been given you to do.
5But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober.
5And thou--watch in all things; suffer evil; do the work of one proclaiming good news; of thy ministration make full assurance,
