2 Timothy 4

1I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:

διαμαρτυρομαι ουν εγω ενωπιον του θεου και του κυριου ιησου χριστου, του μελλοντος κρινειν ζωντας και νεκρους κατα την επιφανειαν αυτου και την βασιλειαν αυτου,

2Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

κηρυξον τον λογον, επιστηθι ευκαιρως ακαιρως, ελεγξον, επιτιμησον, παρακαλεσον, εν παση μακροθυμια και διδαχη.

3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;

εσται γαρ καιρος οτε της υγιαινουσης διδασκαλιας ουκ ανεξονται, αλλα κατα τας επιθυμιας τας ιδιας εαυτοις επισωρευσουσιν διδασκαλους κνηθομενοι την ακοην,

4and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

και απο μεν της αληθειας την ακοην αποστρεψουσιν, επι δε τους μυθους εκτραπησονται.

5But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

συ δε νηφε εν πασιν, κακοπαθησον, εργον ποιησον ευαγγελιστου, την διακονιαν σου πληροφορησον.

6For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand.

εγω γαρ ηδη σπενδομαι, και ο καιρος της εμης αναλυσεως εφεστηκεν.

7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

τον αγωνα τον καλον ηγωνισμαι, τον δρομον τετελεκα, την πιστιν τετηρηκα·

8Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.

λοιπον αποκειται μοι ο της δικαιοσυνης στεφανος, ον αποδωσει μοι ο κυριος εν εκεινη τη ημερα, ο δικαιος κριτης, ου μονον δε εμοι, αλλα και πασιν τοις ηγαπηκοσιν την επιφανειαν αυτου.

9Be diligent to come to me quickly;

σπουδασον ελθειν προς με ταχεως·

10for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica—Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia.

δημας γαρ με εγκατελιπεν αγαπησας τον νυν αιωνα, και επορευθη εις θεσσαλονικην, κρησκης εις γαλατιαν, τιτος εις δαλματιαν·

11Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministry.

λουκας εστιν μονος μετ εμου. μαρκον αναλαβων αγε μετα σεαυτου· εστιν γαρ μοι ευχρηστος εις διακονιαν.

12And Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.

τυχικον δε απεστειλα εις εφεσον.

13Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.

τον φαιλονην, ον απελιπον εν τρωαδι παρα καρπω, ερχομενος φερε, και τα βιβλια, μαλιστα τας μεμβρανας.

14Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works.

αλεξανδρος ο χαλκευς πολλα μοι κακα ενεδειξατο· αποδωη αυτω ο κυριος κατα τα εργα αυτου·

15You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words.

ον και συ φυλασσου· λιαν γαρ ανθεστηκεν τοις ημετεροις λογοις.

16At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them.

εν τη πρωτη μου απολογια ουδεις μοι συμπαρεγενετο, αλλα παντες με εγκατελιπον· μη αυτοις λογισθειη·

17But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

ο δε κυριος μοι παρεστη και ενεδυναμωσεν με, ινα δι εμου το κηρυγμα πληροφορηθη και ακουση παντα τα εθνη· και ερρυσθην εκ στοματος λεοντος.

18And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!

και ρυσεται με ο κυριος απο παντος εργου πονηρου και σωσει εις την βασιλειαν αυτου την επουρανιον· ω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων· αμην.

19Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

ασπασαι πρισκαν και ακυλαν και τον ονησιφορου οικον.

20Erastus stayed in Corinth, but Trophimus I have left in Miletus sick.

εραστος εμεινεν εν κορινθω, τροφιμον δε απελιπον εν μιλητω ασθενουντα.

21Do your utmost to come before winter.

σπουδασον προ χειμωνος ελθειν. ασπαζεται σε ευβουλος και πουδης και λινος και κλαυδια και οι αδελφοι παντες.

22Eubulus greets you, as well as Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren. The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

ο κυριος ιησους χριστος μετα του πνευματος σου. η χαρις μεθ υμων· αμην.
