1 I Testifye therfore before God, & before the Lord Iesu Christ, which shall iudge the quicke and deed at hys apearinge in hys kyngdom,
2 preache thou the worde, be feruent, in season & oute of season. Improue, rebuke, exhorte wt all longe sufferynge and doctryne.
3 For the tyme will come, when they shall not suffer wholsome doctryne: but after their awne lustes shall they (whose eares ytche) gett them an heepe of teachers,
4 and shall withdrawe their eares from the trueth, and shalbe turned vnto fables.
5 But watche thou in all thynges, suffre affliccyons, do the worke thorowlye of an Euangelist, fulfyll thyne offyce vnto the vtmost.
6 For I am nowe ready to be offered, and the tyme of my departynge, is at hande.
7 I haue fought a good fyght, I haue fulfylled my course, I haue kept the fayth.
8 From hence forth ther is layde vp for me a crowne of ryghtewesnes, which the Lorde (that is a ryghteous iudge) shall geue me at that daye: not to me onely, but vnto all them also that loue his comminge.
