2 Timothy 4:1-5 I adjure you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is about to judge the living and the dead—by his appearing and his kingdom, I adjure you

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I adjure you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is about to judge the living and the dead—by his appearing and his kingdom, I adjure you— ² proclaim the message, be urgent in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, encourage, with never-failing patience and teaching. ³ For a time will come when they will not listen to wholesome teaching, but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will heap up for themselves teachers upon teachers to satisfy their own fancies. ⁴ They will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to myths. ⁵ But as for you, be always self-controlled, face hardships, do the work of a missionary, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
