2 Timothy 3:14-4:3

English Standard Version

¹⁴But as for you, ^(A)continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom^[a] you learned it ¹⁵and how ^(B)from childhood you have been acquainted with ^(C)the sacred writings, ^(D)which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶^(E)All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, ¹⁷that ^(F)the man of God^[b] may be complete, ^(G)equipped ^(H)for every good work.

Preach the Word

4 ^(I)I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, ^(J)who is to judge the living and the dead, and by ^(K)his appearing and his kingdom: ²preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; ^(L)reprove, rebuke, and ^(M)exhort, with complete patience and teaching. ³^(N)For the time is coming when people will not endure ^(O)sound^[c] teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,
