1I charge thee, before God and Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, by his coming and his kingdom:
1I give you orders, before God and Christ Jesus, who will be the judge of the living and the dead, and by his revelation and his kingdom;
2Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine.
2Be preaching the word at all times, in every place; make protests, say sharp words, give comfort, with long waiting and teaching;
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:
3For the time will come when they will not take the true teaching; but, moved by their desires, they will get for themselves a great number of teachers for the pleasure of hearing them;
4And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.
4And shutting their ears to what is true, will be turned away to belief in foolish stories.
5But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober.
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.
6For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand.
6For I am even now being offered, and my end is near.
7I have fought a good fight: I have finished my course: I have kept the faith.
7I have made a good fight, I have come to the end of my journey, I have kept the faith:
8As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming. Make haste to come to me quickly.
8From now on, the crown of righteousness is made ready for me, which the Lord, the upright judge, Will give to me at that day: and not only to me, but to all those who have had love for his revelation.
9For Demas hath left me, loving this world, and is gone to Thessalonica:
9Do your best to come to me before long:
10Crescens into Galatia, Titus into Dalmatia.
10For Demas has gone away from me, for love of this present life, and has gone to Thessalonica: Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
11Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
11Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and take him with you; for he is of use to me in the work.
13The cloak that I left at Troas, with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee: and the books, especially the parchments.
13The coat which I did not take from Troas and which is with Carpus, get when you come, and the books, specially the papers.
14Alexander the coppersmith hath done me much evil: the Lord will reward him according to his works:
14Alexander the copper-worker did me much wrong: the Lord will give him the reward of his works:
15Whom do thou also avoid: for he hath greatly withstood our words.
15But be on the watch for him, for he was violent in his attacks on our teaching.
16At my first answer, no man stood with me: but all forsook me. May it not be laid to their charge!
16At my first meeting with my judges, no one took my part, but all went away from me. May it not be put to their account.
17But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that by me the preaching may be accomplished and that all the Gentiles may hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
17But the Lord was by my side and gave me strength; so that through me the news might be given out in full measure, and all the Gentiles might give ear: and I was taken out of the mouth of the lion.
18The Lord hath delivered me from every evil work and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom. To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
18The Lord will keep me safe from every evil work and will give me salvation in his kingdom in heaven: to whom be glory for ever and ever. So be it.
19Salute Prisca, and Aquila and the household of Onesiphorus.
19Give my love to Prisca and Aquila and those of the house of Onesiphorus.
20Erastus remained at Corinth. And Trophimus I left sick at Miletus.
20Erastus was stopping at Corinth; but Trophimus, when I last saw him was at Miletus, ill.
