2 Timothy 4:1-5

``Preach the Word"

1 1I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to 2judge the living and the dead, and by His 3appearing and His kingdom:
2 preach 4the word; be ready in season and out of season; 5reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great 6patience and instruction.
3 For 7the time will come when they will not endure 8sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,
4 and 9will turn away their ears from the truth and 10will turn aside to myths.
5 But you, 11be sober in all things, 12endure hardship, do the work of an 13evangelist, fulfill your 14ministry.
