Preach
the Word
2 Timothy 4:1-8 (ESV)
1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is
to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2
preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and
exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 For the time is
coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they
will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4
and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 5
As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an
evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the
time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I
have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Henceforth there is
laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge,
will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved
his appearing.
1 Corinthians 15:34 (ESV)
Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For
some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
