New Testament2 TimothyFaithfulness and Zeal in Preaching · 4:1–54:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
