2 Timothy 4

 1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge   the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort   with all long suffering and doctrine.

 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after   their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto   fables.

 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist,  make full proof of thy ministry.

 6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord,    the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all   them also that love his appearing.

 9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

 10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

 11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

 12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.

 13 The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee,  and the books, but especially the parchments.

 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:

 15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.

 16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God   that it may not be laid to their charge.

 17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me  the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I  was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

 18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work,and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

 19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

 20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.

 21 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens,   and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

 22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

¶The second epistle unto Timotheus, ordained the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians, was written from Rome, when Paul was brought before Nero the second time.

Titus 3

1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

 2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

 3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

 8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

 9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

 10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

 12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.

 13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.

 14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.

 15 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
