Paul's Example, the Authority of Scripture, and the Charge to Preach

2 Timothy 3:10-4:8
10You then followed my teaching, my conduct, my purpose, my faith, my patience, my love, and my perseverance 11the persecutions and the sufferings that came upon me in Antioch, in Iconium, and in Lystra; such persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me 12Indeed, all who desire to live piously in Christ Jesus will be persecuted 13But evil people and impostors will advance to the worse, deceiving and being deceived 14But you, remain in what you have learned and have become convinced of, knowing from whom you learned it 15and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings that are able to make you wise for salvation through faith that is in Christ Jesus 16All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness 17so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work
Chapter 4
1I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom 2preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching 3For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions 4and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths 5As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry 6For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come 7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith 8Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing
