Murdock(i)
1 I charge thee, before God, and our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who is to judge the living and the dead, at the manifestation of his kingdom,
2 Proclaim the word; and persist in it with diligence, in time and out of time; admonish, and rebuke, with all patience and instructiveness.
3 For the time will come, when they will not give ear to sound teaching; but, according to their lusts, will multiply to themselves teachers, in the itching of their hearing;
4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and incline after fables.
5 But be thou vigilant in all things; and endure evils, and do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill thy ministry.
6 But I am soon to be immolated; and the time of my dissolution hath come.
7 I have fought a good combat, I have completed my race, I have preserved my fidelity;
8 and henceforth there is preserved for me a crown of righteousness, with which my Lord, the righteous Judge, will recompense me in that day; and not me only, but them also who love his manifestation.
