1. I command you therefore before God and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:
2. proclaim the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.
3. For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts;
4. and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables.
5. But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfil your ministry.
6. For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
