2 Timothy 4 — Side by side (ASV, WEB, YLT, DRA)

1I chargetheein the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:

1I do fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is about to judge living and dead at his manifestation and his reign--

1I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming and his kingdom:

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

2preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season, convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching,

2Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine.

3For 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;

3for there shall be a season when the sound teaching they will not suffer, but according to their own desires to themselves they shall heap up teachers--itching in the hearing,

3For there shall be a time when they will not endure sound doctrine but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers having itching ears:

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.

4And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.

5But be thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry.

5But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober.
