Wednesday - Verse of the Day

 Preach the Word

4:1 I (1 Tim. 5:21; 2 Tim. 4:1) charge you (NU omits, therefore) therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, (Acts 10:42) who will judge the living and the dead (NU and by) at His appearing and His kingdom: 

2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. (Titus 2:15) Convince, (1 Tim. 5:20; Titus 1:13; 2:15) rebuke, I (1 Tim. 4:13) exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 

3 (2 Tim. 3:1) For the time will come when they will not endure (1 Tim. 1:10; 2 Tim. 1:13) sound doctrine, ( Is. 30:9–11; Jer. 5:30, 31; 2 Tim. 3:6) but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 

4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and (1 Tim. 1:4) be turned aside to fables. 

5 But you be watchful in all things, (2 Tim. 1:8) endure afflictions, do the work of (Acts 21:8) an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
