Epistle
2 Tim 3.16-4.4
Read in contextMy son Timothy, all
3:16All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
3:17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
4:1I charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
4:2Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
4:3For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4:4And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
