2 Timothy 4:2

Paul's Charge To Timothy

¹ I solemnly charge you, in the sight of God and of Christ Jesus, who will one day judge the living and the dead--I charge you by his Appearing and by his Kingdom:-- ² Proclaim the Message, be ready in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, encourage, never failing to instruct with forbearance. ³ For a time will come when people will not tolerate sound teaching. They will follow their own wishes, and, in their itching for novelty, procure themselves a crowd of teachers.
