3 For there shall be a time when they will not bear sound doctrine: but according to their own desires they will heap to themselves masters, having itching ears,📜💬📚

4 and from the truth certes they will avert their hearing, and to fables they will be converted.📜💬📚

5 But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an Evangelist, fulfill thy ministry. Be sober.📜💬📚

6 For I am even now to be sacrificed: and the time of my resolution is at hand.📜💬📚

7 I have fought a good fight, I have consummate my course, I have kept the faith.📜💬📚

8 Concerning the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice, which our Lord will render to me in that day, a just judge: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming.📜💬📚

Personal Concerns

9 Make haste to come to me quickly.📜💬📚

10 For Demas hath left me, loving this world, and is gone to Thessalonica: Crescens into Galatia, Titus into Dalmatia.📜💬📚

11 Luke only is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.📜💬📚

12 But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.📜💬📚

13 The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, coming bring with thee, and the books, especially the parchment.📜💬📚

14 Alexander the Coppersmith hath shewed me much evil: our Lord will reward him according to his works:📜💬📚

15 whom do thou also avoid, for he hath greatly resisted our words.📜💬📚

Lord Remains Faithful

16 In my first answer no man was with me, but all did forsake me: be it not imputed to them.📜💬📚

17 But our Lord stood to me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching may be accomplished, and all Gentiles may hear: and I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.📜💬📚

18 Our Lord hath delivered me from all evil work: and will save me unto his heavenly Kingdom. To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.📜💬📚

Final Greetings

19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.📜💬📚

22 Our Lord JESUS Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.📜💬📚
