JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I call to witness before God there fore, and the Lord Jesus Christ, being about to judge the living and the dead according to his appearance and his kingdom; ² Proclaim the word; keep fixed seasonably, and unseasonably; refute, censure, beseech, in all longsnffering and teaching. ³ For the time will be when they will not hear sound doctrine; but according to their own eager desires they will heap up to themselves teachers, feeling itchings for a report; ⁴ And truly from the truth will they turn away the hearing, and be turned aside to fictions. ⁵ And thou be sober in all things, suffer ill treatment, do the work of the bearer of good news, render thy service perfectly certain.
