2 Timothy 3:14--4:5
3:14 You, however, must continue
in the things you have learned and are confident about. You know
who taught you
3:15 and how from infancy you have known the holy writings, which are able to give you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
3:16 Every scripture
is inspired by God
and useful for teaching, for reproof,
for correction, and for training in righteousness,
3:17 that the person dedicated to God
may be capable
and equipped for every good work.
Charge to Timothy Repeated
4:1 I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:
4:2 Preach the message, be ready whether it is convenient or not, reprove, rebuke, exhort with complete patience and instruction.
4:3 For there will be a time when people will not tolerate sound teaching. Instead, following their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves, because they have an insatiable curiosity to hear new things.
4:4 And they will turn away from hearing the truth, but on the other hand they will turn aside to myths.
4:5 You, however, be self-controlled in all things, endure hardship, do an evangelist’s work, fulfill your ministry.
