Preach the Word

1I testifie therfore before god and before the lorde Iesu Christ which shall iudge quicke and deed at his aperynge in his kyngdom 2preache the worde be fervent be it in season or out of season. Improve rebuke exhorte with all longe sufferinge and doctryne. 3For the tyme will come when they wyll not suffer wholsome doctryne: but after their awne lustes shall they (whose eares ytche) gett the an heepe of teachers 4and shall turne their eares from ye trueth and shalbe geven vnto fables. 5But watch thou in all thynges and suffre adversitie and do the worke of an evangelist fulfill thyne office vnto the vtmost.

6For I am now redy to be offered and the tyme of my departynge is at honde. 7I have fought a good fight and have fulfilled my course and have kept the fayth. 8From hence forth is layde vp for me a croune of rightewesnes which the lorde that is a righteous iudge shall geve me at that daye: not to me only but vnto all them that love his commynge.

Personal Concerns

9Make spede to come vnto me at once. 10For Demas hath left me and hath loved this present worlde and is departed into Tessalonica. Crescens is gone to Galacia and Titus vnto Dalmacea. 11Only Lucas is with me. Take Marke and bringe him with the for he is necessary vnto me forto minister. 12And Tichicus have I sent to Ephesus. 13The cloke that I lefte at Troada with Carpus whe thou commest brynge with the and the bokes but specially the partchemet. 14Alexander the coppersmyth did me moche evyll the lorde rewarde him accordynge to his dedes 15of whom be thou ware also. For he withstode oure preachynge sore.

The Lord Remains Faithful

16At my fyrst answerynge no man assissted me but all forsoke me. I praye God that it maye not be layde to their charges: 17notwithstondinge the Lorde assisted me and stregthed me that by me the preachinge shuld be fulfilled to the vtmost and that all the gentyls shuld heare. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lyon. 18And the Lorde shall delivre me from all evyll doynge and shall kepe me vnto his hevenly kyngdome. To who be prayse for ever and ever. Amen.
