Return to Index

Chapter 4

1


 

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

 

 

--

2


 

  preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all patience and teaching.  

 

 

--

3


 

  For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts;  

 

 

--

4


 

  and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables.  

 

 

--

5


 

  But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.  

 

 

--

6


 

  For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.  

 

 

--

7


 

  I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.  

 

 

--

8


 

  From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Be diligent to come to me soon,  

 

 

--

10


 

  for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministering.  

 

 

--

12


 

  But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.  

 

 

--

13


 

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

 

 

--

14


 

  Alexander, the coppersmith, did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his works,  

 

 

--

15


 

  of whom you also must beware; for he greatly opposed our words.  

 

 

--

16


 

  At my first defense, no one took my part, but all left me. May it not be held against them.  

 

 

--

17


 

  But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.  

 

 

--

18


 

  And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me to his heavenly kingdom; to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.  

 

 

--

19


 

  Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.  

 

 

--

22


 

  The Lord, Jesus Christ, be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.  

 

 

--

Titus 1
