RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I solemnly charge you before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom; ² Preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all patience and instruction. ³ For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall gather up teachers for themselves to suit their own desires; ⁴ And they shall turn their ears away from the truth, and shall turn aside to myths. ⁵ But you, be steady in all things; endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
