  1. 1I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:
  2. 2preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.
  3. 3For 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. 4and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables.
  5. 5But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.
