1 Timothy 1:18-20 - Paul's Charge To Timothy

¹⁸ This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, in accordance with the preceding prophecies concerning you, that by them you may war the good warfare, ¹⁹ holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust from them, as it respects faith have made shipwreck; of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, ²⁰ whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to revile.

¹ I charge you, therefore, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom, ² preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and teaching. ³ For the time will come when they will not endure sound teaching, but according to their own desires they will pro cure for themselves an abundance of teachers to gratify their itching ears: ⁴ and they will turn away their ears from the truth, and be turned to fables. ⁵ But do you be watchful in all things, endure evil, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.?

⁶ For I am now ready to be poured out, and the time of my departure is at hand. ⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith: ⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me at that day; and not to me only, but to all those who love his appearing.
