Preach the word

2 Timothy 4:1-5

From his prison cell as his execution approaches, Paul delivers one final charge to Timothy: preach the word. ‘The word’ is the word of life and immortality. It is ‘the word of the truth’, the promise of life in Christ Jesus, risen from the dead. Despite the urgent need for this word, it will always be opposed by people who wish to pursue their own desires rather than submit to God. Timothy will need firm resolve to pursue the charge.

2 Timothy 4:1-5

Preach the Word

I 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: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 For 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, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 5 But as for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
