The Solemn Charge to Preach

2 Timothy 4:1-5

The Solemn Charge to Preach

1
I charge thee therefore before God, and before the Lord Iesus Christ, which shall iudge the quicke and dead at that his appearing, and in his kingdome,
2
Preach the worde: be instant, in season and out of season: improue, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3
For the time will come, when they will not suffer wholesome doctrine: but hauing their eares itching, shall after their owne lustes get them an heape of teachers,
4
And shall turne their eares from the trueth, and shalbe giuen vnto fables.
5
But watch thou in all thinges: suffer aduersitie: doe the worke of an Euangelist: cause thy ministerie to be throughly liked of.
