2 Timothy 4
1In
the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and
the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this
charge: 2Preach the Word;
be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and
encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. 3For
the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine.
Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a
great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
