last words

 Paul wrote 2 Timothy shortly before he was killed in Rome.

Paul considered Timothy his son.

Here's some of the last words Paul wrote to Timothy...

2 Timothy 4

2 Preach the word of God. 

Be prepared, 

whether the time is favorable or not. 

Patiently correct, 

rebuke, 

and encourage your people with good teaching.

3 For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. 

They will follow their own desires 

and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. 

4 They will reject the truth and chase after myths.

5 But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. 

Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. 

Work at telling others the Good News, 

and fully carry out the ministry God has given you.
