1. I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
2. Preach the message, be ready whether it is convenient or not, reprove, rebuke, exhort with complete patience and instruction.
3. For there will be a time when people will not tolerate sound teaching. Instead, following their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves, because they have an insatiable curiosity to hear new things.
4. And they will turn away from hearing the truth, but on the other hand they will turn aside to myths.
