4In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and because he is coming to rule as King, I solemnly urge youG1473G1263G3767G1799G2316G2532G2962G2424G5547G3588G3195G2919G2198G2532G3498G2596G846G2015G2532G846G932 2to preach the message, to insist upon proclaiming it (whether the time is right or not), to convince, reproach, and encourage, as you teach with all patience.G2784G3056G2186G2122G171G1651G2008G3870G1722G3956G3115G2532G1322 3The time will come when people will not listen to sound doctrine, but will follow their own desires and will collect for themselves more and more teachers who will tell them what they are itching to hear.G1063G2540G2071G3753G430G3756G430G5198G1319G235G2596G2398G1939G2002G1438G1320G2833G189 4They will turn away from listening to the truth and give their attention to legends.G2532G3303G654G189G575G225G1161G1624G1909G3454 5But you must keep control of yourself in all circumstances; endure suffering, do the work of a preacher of the Good News, and perform your whole duty as a servant of God.G1161G3525G4771G1722G3956G2553G4160G2041G2099G4135G4675G1248 6As for me, the hour has come for me to be sacrificed; the time is here for me to leave this life.G1063G1473G4689G2235G4689G2532G2540G1699G359G2186 7I have done my best in the race, I have run the full distance, and I have kept the faith.G75G2570G73G5055G1408G5083G4102 8And now there is waiting for me the victory prize of being put right with God, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that Day - and not only to me, but to all those who wait with love for him to appear.G3063G606G3427G4735G1343G3739G2962G1342G2923G591G3427G1722G1565G2250G1161G3756G1698G3440G235G3956G2532G25G846G2015
