2 Timothy 4:4

Paul's Charge To Timothy

³ For the time will come when they will not take the true teaching; but, moved by their desires, they will get for themselves a great number of teachers for the pleasure of hearing them; ⁴ And shutting their ears to what is true, will be turned away to belief in foolish stories. ⁵ But be self-controlled in all things, do without comfort, go on preaching the good news, completing the work which has been given you to do.
