| New English Bible | 2 Timothy:4 | Novum Testamentum Graece (UBS.Ed.26) | ||
| 1 | Before God, and before Christ Jesus who is to judge men living and dead, I charge you solemnly by his coming appearance and his reign, | ΔιαμαρΤύρομαι ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ, τοῦ μέλλοντος κρίνειν ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς, καὶ τὴν ἐπιφάνειαν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ· | ||
| 2 | proclaim the message, press it home on all occasions, convenient or inconvenient, use argument, reproof, and appeal, with all the patience that the work of teaching requires. | κήρυξον τὸν λόγον, ἐπίστηθι εὐκαίρως ἀκαίρως, ἐλεγξον, ἐπιτίμησον, παρακάλεσον, ἐν πάσῃ μακροθυμίᾳ καὶ διδαχῇ. | ||
| 3 | For the time will come when they will not stand wholesome teaching, but will follow their own fancy and gather a crowd of teachers to tickle their ears. | ἐσται γὰρ καιρὸς ὅτε τῆς ὑγιαινούσης διδασκαλίας οὐκ ἀνέξονται, ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὰς ἰδίας ἐπιθυμίας ἑαυτοῖς ἐπισωρεύσουσιν διδασκάλους κνηθόμενοι τὴν ἀκοήν, | ||
| 4 | They will stop their ears to the truth and turn to mythology. | καὶ ἀπὸ μὲν τῆς ἀληθείας τὴν ἀκοὴν ἀποστρέψουσιν, ἐπὶ δὲ τοὺς μύθους ἐκτραπήσονται. | ||
| 5 | But you yourself must keep calm and sane at all times; face hardship, work to spread the Gospel, and do all the duties of your calling. | σὺ δὲ νῆφε ἐν πᾶσιν, κακοπάθησον, ἐργον ποίησον εὐαγγελιστοῦ, τὴν διακονίαν σου πληροφόρησον. | ||
| 6 | AS FOR ME, already my life is being poured out on the altar, and the hour for my departure is upon me. | Ἐγὼ γὰρ ἠδη σπένδομαι, καὶ ὁ καιρὸς τῆς ἀναλύσεώς μου Ἐφέστηκεν. | ||
| 7 | I have run the great race, I have finished the course, I have kept faith. | τὸν καλὸν ἀγῶνα ἠγώνισμαι, τὸν δρόμον τετέλεκα, τὴν πίστιν τετήρηκα· | ||
| 8 | And now the prize awaits me, the garland of righteousness which the Lord, the all-just Judge, will award me on that great Day; and it is not for me alone, but for all who have set their hearts on his coming appearance. | λοιπὸν ἀπόκειταί μοι ὁ τῆς δικαιοσύνης στέφανος, ὃν ἀποδώσει μοι ὁ κύριος ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, ὁ δίκαιος κριτής, οὐ μόνον δὲ ἐμοὶ ἀλλὰ καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἠγαπηκόσι τὴν ἐ πιφάνειαν αὐτοῦ. | ||
| 9 | Do your best to join me soon; | Personal Instructions 2Tm.4.9-18 | Σπούδασον ἐλθεῖν πρός με ταχέως· | |
| 10 | for Demas has deserted me because his heart was set on this world; he has gone to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia; | Δημᾶς γάρ με ἐγκατέλιπεν ἀγαπήσας τὸν νῦν αἰῶνα, καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς Θεσσαλονίκην, Κρήσκης εἰς Γαλατίαν, Τίτος εἰς Δαλματίαν· | ||
| 11 | I have no one with me but Luke. Pick up Mark and bring him with you, for I find him a useful assistant. | Λουκᾶς ἐστιν μόνος μετ' ἐμοῦ. Μᾶρκον ἀναλαβὼν ἀγε μετὰ σεαυτοῦ, ἐστιν γάρ μοι εὐχρηστος εἰς διακονίαν. | ||
| 12 | Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. | Τυχικὸν δὲ ἀπέστειλα εἰς Ἔφεσον. | ||
| 13 | When you come, bring the cloak I left with Carpus at Troas, and the books, above all my notebooks. | τὸν φαιλόνην ὃν ἀπέλιπον ἐν Τρῳάδι παρὰ Κάρπῳ ἐρχόμενος φέρε, καὶ τὰ βιβλία, μάλιστα τὰς μεμβράνας. | ||
| 14 | Alexander the coppersmith did me a great deal of harm. Retribution will fall upon him from the Lord. | Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ χαλκεὺς πολλά μοι κακὰ ἐνεδείξατο· ἀποδώσει αὐτῷ ὁ κύριος κατὰ τὰ ἐργα αὐτοῦ· | ||
| 15 | You had better be on your guard against him too, for he violently opposed everything I said. | ὃν καὶ σὺ φυλάσσου, λίαν γὰρ ἀντέστη τοῖς ἡμετέροις λόγοις. | ||
| 16 | At the first hearing of my case no one came into court to support me; they all left me in the lurch; I pray that it may not be held against them. | Ἐν τῇ πρώτῃ μου ἀπολογίᾳ οὐδείς μοι παρεγένετο, ἀλλὰ πάντες με ἐγκατέλιπον· μὴ αὐτοῖς λογισθείη· | ||
| 17 | But the Lord stood by me and lent me strength, so that I might be his instrument in making the full proclamation of the Gospel for the whole pagan world to hear; and thus I was rescued out of the lion's jaws. | ὁ δὲ κύριός μοι παρέστη καὶ ἐνεδυνάμωσέν με, ἵνα δῖ ἐμοῦ τὸ κήρυγμα πληροφορηθῇ καὶ ἀκούσωσιν πάντα τὰ ἐθνη, καὶ ἐρρύσθην ἐκ στόματος λέοντος. | ||
| 18 | And the Lord will rescue me from every attempt to do me harm, and keep me safe until his heavenly reign begins. Glory to him for ever and ever! Amen. | ῥύσεταί με ὁ κύριος ἀπὸ παντὸς ἐργου πονηροῦ καὶ σώσει εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτοῦ τὴν ἐπουράνιον, ᾧ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων· ἀμήν. | ||
| 19 | Greetings to Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. | Final Greetings 2Tm.4.19-22 | Ἄσπασαι Πρίσκαν καὶ Ἀκύλαν καὶ τὸν Ὀνησιφόρου οἶκον. | |
| 20 | Erastus stayed behind at Corinth, and I left Trophimus ill at Miletus. | Ἔραστος ἐμεινεν ἐν Κορίνθῳ, Τρόφιμον δὲ ἀπέλιπον ἐν Μιλήτῳ ἀσθενοῦντα. | ||
| 21 | Do try to get here before winter. Greetings from Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, and Claudia, and from all the brotherhood here. | Σπούδασον πρὸ χειμῶνος ἐλθεῖν. Ἀσπάζεταί σε Εὐβουλος καὶ Πούδης καὶ Λίνος καὶ Κλαυδία καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ πάντες. | ||
| 22 | The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you all! | Ὁ κύριος μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματός σου. ἡ χάρις μεθ' ὑμῶν. | ||
