In context
AI-assisted, sourced2 Timothy 4:1-5Preach the word
About 2 Timothy 4Paul charges Timothy before God to "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season," because the time will come when people "will not endure sound doctrine." He says, "the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith," and a crown of righteousness awaits him and "all them also that love his appearing." He asks Timothy to come quickly, for many have left him, but "the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me." 2 Timothy 4:12 Timothy 4:22 Timothy 4:32 Timothy 4:62 Timothy 4:72 Timothy 4:82 Timothy 4:92 Timothy 4:102 Timothy 4:162 Timothy 4:172 Timothy overview
