2 Timothy 4 I testify therefore before God, and before the Lord Jesus Christ, which shall judge quick and dead at his appearing in his kingdom:

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I testify therefore before God, and before the Lord Jesus Christ, which shall judge quick and dead at his appearing in his kingdom: ² Preach the word, be fervent; be it in season, or out of season. Improve, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. ³ For the time will come, when they will not suffer wholesome doctrine: but after their own lusts shall they whose ears itch get them a heap of teachers, ⁴ and shall turn their ears from the truth, and shall be given unto fables: ⁵ But watch thou in all things, and suffer adversity, and do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thine office unto the utmost. ⁶ For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departing is at hand. ⁷ I have fought a good fight, and have fulfilled my course, and have kept the faith. ⁸ From henceforth is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord that is a righteous judge shall give me at that day: not to me only: but unto all them that love his coming. ⁹ Make speed to come unto me at once. ¹⁰ For Demas hath left me, and hath loved this present world, and is departed into Thessalonica. Crescens is gone to Galatia, and Titus unto Dalmatia. ¹¹ Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with thee, for he is necessary unto me for to minister. ¹² And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. ¹³ The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when thou comest bring with thee, and the books, but specially the parchment. ¹⁴ Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil, the Lord reward him according to his deeds, ¹⁵ of whom be thou ware also. For he withstood our preaching, sore. ¹⁶ At my first answering for myself, no man assisted me, but all forsook me. I pray God, that it may not be laid to their charges: ¹⁷ notwithstanding the Lord assisted me, and strengthed me, that by me the preaching should be fulfilled to the utmost and that all the gentiles should hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. ¹⁸ And the Lord shall deliver me from all evil doing, and shall keep me unto his heavenly kingdom. To whom be praise for ever and ever. Amen. ¹⁹ Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. ²⁰ Erastus abode at Corinth. Trophimus I left at Miletus sick. ²¹ Make speed to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. ²² The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. {The end of the Second Epistle unto Timothy, Written from Rome, when Paul was presented the second time up before the Emperor Nero}

Wycliffe⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I witnesse bifore God and Crist Jhesu, that schal deme the quike and the deed, and bi the comyng of hym, and the kyngdom of hym, ² preche the word, be thou bisi couenabli with outen rest, repreue thou, biseche thou, blame thou in al pacience and doctryn. ³ For tyme schal be, whanne men schulen not suffre hoolsum teching, but at her desiris thei schulen gadere `togidere to hem silf maistris yitchinge to the eeris. ⁴ And treuli thei schulen turne awei the heryng fro treuthe, but to fablis thei schulen turne. ⁵ But wake thou, in alle thingis traueile thou, do the werk of an euangelist, fulfille thi seruyce, be thou sobre. ⁶ For Y am sacrifisid now, and the tyme of my departyng is nyy. ⁷ Y haue stryuun a good strijf, Y haue endid the cours, Y haue kept the feith. ⁸ In `the tothir tyme a coroun of riytwisnesse is kept to me, which the Lord, a iust domesman, schal yelde to me in that dai; and not oneli to me, but also to these that louen his comyng. ⁹ Hyye thou to come to me soone. For Demas, louynge this world, hath forsakun me, and wente to Tessalonyk, ¹⁰ Crescens in to Galathi, Tite in to Dalmacie; ¹¹ Luk aloone is with me. Take thou Mark, and brynge with thee; for he is profitable to me in to seruyce. ¹² Forsothe Y sente Titicus to Effesi. ¹³ The cloth which Y lefte at Troade at Carpe, whanne thou comest, bringe with thee, and the bookis, but moost parchemyne. ¹⁴ Alisaundre, the tresorer, schewide to me myche yuele; `the Lord schal yelde to hym aftir his werkis. ¹⁵ Whom also thou eschewe; for he ayenstood ful greetli oure wordis. ¹⁶ In my firste defence no man helpide me, but alle forsoken me; be it not arettid to hem. ¹⁷ But the Lord helpide me, and coumfortide me, that the preching be fillid bi me, and that alle folkis here, that Y am delyueride fro the mouth of the lioun. ¹⁸ And the Lord delyueride me fro al yuel werk, and schal make me saaf in to his heuenly kingdom, to whom be glorie in to worldis of worldis. ¹⁹ Amen. Grete wel Prisca, and Aquila, and the hous of Oneseforus. ²⁰ Erastus lefte at Corynthi, and Y lefte Trofymus sijk at Mylete. ²¹ Hiye thou to come bifore wyntir. Eubolus, and Prudent, and Lynus, and Claudia, and alle britheren, greten thee wel. ²² Oure Lord Jhesu Crist be with thi spirit. The grace of God be with you. Amen.
