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

¹⁸ This charge, my child Timotheus, I commit to thee, according to the prophecies as to thee preceding, in order that thou mightest war by them the good warfare, ¹⁹ maintaining faith and a good conscience; which last some, having put away, have made shipwreck as to faith; ²⁰ of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to blaspheme.

¹ I testify before God and Christ Jesus, who is about to judge living and dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom, ² proclaim the word; be urgent in season and out of season, convict, rebuke, encourage, with all longsuffering and doctrine. ³ For the time shall be when they will not bear sound teaching; but according to their own lusts will heap up to themselves teachers, having an itching ear; ⁴ and they will turn away their ear from the truth, and will have turned aside to fables. ⁵ But thou, be sober in all things, bear evils, do the work of an evangelist, fill up the full measure of thy ministry.

⁶ For I am already being poured out, and the time of my release is come. ⁷ I have combated the good combat, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. ⁸ Henceforth the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will render to me in that day; but not only to me, but also to all who love his appearing.
