My LORD’s Bible2 Timothy 4
2Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine.
prædica verbum, insta opportune, importune: argue, obsecra, increpa in omni patientia, et doctrina.
3For there shall be a time when they will not endure sound doctrine but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers having itching ears:
Erit enim tempus, cum sanam doctrinam non sustinebunt, sed ad sua desideria coacervabunt sibi magistros, prurientes auribus,
4And will indeed turn away their hearing from the truth, but will be turned unto fables.
et a veritate quidem auditum avertent, ad fabulas autem convertentur.
5But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober.
Tu vero vigila, in omnibus labora, opus fac evangelistæ, ministerium tuum imple. Sobrius esto.
6For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand.
Ego enim jam delibor, et tempus resolutionis meæ instat.

Bonum certamen certavi, cursum consummavi, fidem servavi.
8As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming. Make haste to come to me quickly.
In reliquo reposita est mihi corona justitiæ, quam reddet mihi Dominus in illa die, justus judex: non solum autem mihi, sed et iis, qui diligunt adventum ejus. Festina ad me venire cito.
9For Demas hath left me, loving this world, and is gone to Thessalonica:
Demas enim me reliquit, diligens hoc sæculum, et abiit Thessalonicam:
14Alexander the coppersmith hath done me much evil: the Lord will reward him according to his works:
Alexander ærarius multa mala mihi ostendit: reddet illi Dominus secundum opera ejus:
15Whom do thou also avoid: for he hath greatly withstood our words.
quem et tu devita: valde enim restitit verbis nostris.
16At my first answer, no man stood with me: but all forsook me. May it not be laid to their charge!
In prima mea defensione nemo mihi affuit, sed omnes me dereliquerunt: non illis imputetur.
17But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that by me the preaching may be accomplished and that all the Gentiles may hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
Dominus autem mihi astitit, et confortavit me, ut per me prædicatio impleatur, et audiant omnes gentes: et liberatus sum de ore leonis.

Saluta Priscam, et Aquilam, et Onesiphori domum.
