2 Timothy 4:1-5 I give you orders, before God and Christ Jesus, who will be the judge of the living and the dead, and by his revelation and his kingdom;

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I give you orders, before God and Christ Jesus, who will be the judge of the living and the dead, and by his revelation and his kingdom; ² Be preaching the word at all times, in every place; make protests, say sharp words, give comfort, with long waiting and teaching; ³ For the time will come when they will not take the true teaching; but, moved by their desires, they will get for themselves a great number of teachers for the pleasure of hearing them; ⁴ And shutting their ears to what is true, will be turned away to belief in foolish stories. ⁵ But be self-controlled in all things, do without comfort, go on preaching the good news, completing the work which has been given you to do.
