1 I charge [youi] therefore before God-The Father, and the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain), exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

3 For 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 And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5 But watch youi in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of youri ministry.

6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith:

8 From this time forth (from now on) there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord - Kurios, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

9 Do youi diligence to come shortly unto me:

10 For Demas [governor of the people] has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica [victory of falsity]; Crescens [growing] to Galatia [land of the Galli, Gauls, A Celt], Titus [nurse] unto Dalmatia [a priestly robe].

11 Only Luke [light-giving] is with me. Take Mark [a defense], and bring him with youi: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

12 And Tychicus [fateful] have I sent to Ephesus [permitted].

13 The cloak that I left at Troas (Trojan) [penetrated] with Carpus [fruit], when youi come, bring [with youi], and the books, [but] especially the parchments.

14 Alexander [one who assists men] the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord - Kurios reward him according to his works:

15 Of whom be youi ware also; for he has greatly withstood our words.

16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all [men] forsook me: [I pray God-The Father] that it may not be laid to their charge.

17 Yet the Lord - Kurios stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and [that] all the Goyim [Gentiles] might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

18 And the Lord - Kurios shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve [me] unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] glory forever and ever. Amen.

19 Salute Prisca [ancient] and Aquila [an eagle], and the household of Onesiphorus [bringing profit].

20 Erastus [beloved] abode at Corinth [satiated]: but Trophimus [nutritious] have I left at Miletum [pure white fine wool] sick.

21 Do youi diligence to come before winter. Eubulus [prudent] greets youi, and Pudens [modest], and Linus [a net], and Claudia [lame], and all the brethren.

22 The Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] [be] with youri spirit. Grace [be] with you. Amen. <The second [Epistle (important or formal letter)] unto Timothy [honoring God], ordained the first bishop of the church of the Ephesians [permitted], was written from Rome [strength], when Sha’ul [desired] was brought before Nero [brave] the second time.>
