I command you therefore before Êlôhîym, and Âdônây Yahusha Mâshı̂yach, who shall judge the living and the dead at his manifestation and his kingdom;
Preach the word; be prepared in season, out of season; rebuke, admonish, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
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;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
But you watch in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry.
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my race, I have kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which Âdônây, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his manifestation.
Do your diligence to come shortly unto me:
For Dimás has deserted me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessaloníki; Krískis to Galatia, Titos unto Dalmatia.
Only Loukás is with me. Take Márkos, and bring him with you: for he is useful to me for the ministry.
And Tychikós I have sent to Éfesos.
The cloke that I left at Troas with Kárpos, when you come, bring with you, and the books, but especially the papyrus scrolls.
Aléxandros the coppersmith did me much evil: Âdônây reward him according to his works:
Of whom you also be aware; for he has greatly stood against our words.
At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray Êlôhîym that it may not be laid to their charge.
Moreover Âdônây 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.
And Âdônây shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Âmên.
Salute Príska and Akýlas, and the household of Onisíforos.
Érastos stayed at Kórinthos: but Trófimos I have left at Mílitos sick.
Do your diligence to come before winter. Éuboulos greets you, and Poúdis, and Línos, and Klaudía, and all the brethren.
Âdônây Yahusha Mâshı̂yach be with your spirit. Love be with you. Âmên.
