1 I testify before God and Christ Jesus, who is about to judge living and dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom,

2 proclaim the word; be urgent in season {and} out of season, convict, rebuke, encourage, with all longsuffering and doctrine.

3 For the time shall be when they will not bear sound teaching; but according to their own lusts will heap up to themselves teachers, having an itching ear;

4 and they will turn away their ear from the truth, and will have turned aside to fables.

5 But *thou*, be sober in all things, bear evils, do {the} work of an evangelist, fill up the full measure of thy ministry.

6 For *I* am already being poured out, and the time of my release is come.

7 I have combated the good combat, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

8 Henceforth the crown of righteousness is laid up for me, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will render to me in that day; but not only to me, but also to all who love his appearing.

9 Use diligence to come to me quickly;

10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved the present age, and is gone to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

11 Luke alone is with me. Take Mark, and bring {him} with thyself, for he is serviceable to me for ministry.

12 But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.

13 The cloak which I left behind {me} in Troas at Carpus's, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments.

14 Alexander the smith did many evil things against me. The Lord will render to him according to his works.

15 Against whom be *thou* also on thy guard, for he has greatly withstood our words.

16 At my first defence no man stood with me, but all deserted me. May it not be imputed to them.

17 But the Lord stood with {me}, and gave me power, that through me the proclamation might be fully made, and all {those of} the nations should hear; and I was delivered out of the lion's mouth.

18 The Lord shall deliver me from every wicked work, and shall preserve {me} for his heavenly kingdom; to whom {be} glory for the ages of ages. Amen.

19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.

20 Erastus remained in Corinth, but Trophimus I left behind in Miletus sick.

21 Use diligence to come before winter. Eubulus salutes thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and the brethren all.

22 The Lord Jesus Christ {be} with your spirit. Grace {be} with you.

1 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koe i te aroaro o te Atua, o Karaiti Ihu hoki, mana nei e whakawa te hunga ora me te hunga mate, i te ahua o tona putanga mai me tona rangatiratanga,

2 Kauwhautia te kupu; tohea i nga wa pai, i nga wa kino; riria te he, whakahengia iho, whakahaua, whakapaua te manawanui me te whakaako.

3 Tenei ake hoki te wa e kore ai ratou e whakarongo ki te whakaako tika; heoi, i te mea he taringa minamina o ratou, ka apohia e ratou he kaiwhakaako e rite ana ki o ratou na hiahia.

4 Ka tahuri ke o ratou taringa i te pono, ka anga atu ki nga korero tito noa.

5 Kia mau ia koe i nga mea katoa; tukua atu nga mamae ki a koe; mahia te mahi a te kaikauwhau i te rongopai; whakapaua tau mahi minita.

6 Tenei hoki ahau kei te ringihia, kua rite ano te wa hei haerenga moku.

7 Kua whawhaitia e ahau te whawhai pai, kua omakia toku omanga, kua rite i ahau te whakapono:

8 Kei te takoto mai moku i nga wa o muri nei e karauna o te tika, e homai ki ahau a taua ra e te Ariki, e te kaiwhakawa tika: he teka ki ahau anake, engari ki te hunga katoa ano hoki kua matenui ki tona putanga mai.

9 Kia puta tou uaua ki te haere wawe mai ki ahau:

10 Kua whakarerea ahau e Rimaha, he aroha nona ki tenei ao, a haere ana a ki Teharonika; kua riro atu a Kerekena ki Karatia, a Taituha ki Raramatia.

11 Ko Ruka anake kei ahau. Tena a Maka mauria mai hei hoa mou; he pai hoki ia mo taku mahi minita.

12 Kua tonoa e ahau a Tikiku ki Epeha.

13 Ka haere mai koe, mauria mai te koroka i mahue atu i ahau ki Toroa, ki a Karapu, me nga pukapuka; tena rawa ia nga kirihipi.

14 He maha nga kino i meatia mai e Arehanera, e te kaimahi parahi ki ahau: ma te Ariki e hoatu ki a ia he utu e rite ana ki ana mahi:

15 Kia tupato hoki koe ki a ia; he rahi rawa hoki tana totohe ki a matou kupu.

16 I taku korerotanga tuatahi, i karo ai i ahau, kahore he tangata hei tuara moku, heoi whakarerea ake ahau e te katoa. Kaua tenei e whakairia ki a ratou.

17 I tu ia te Ariki ki toku taha, nana hoki ahau i whakakaha; kia whakapaua rawatia ai e ahau te kauwhau, kia rongo katoa ai nga tauiwi: a toia mai ana ahau i roto i te mangai o te raiona.

18 Tera ahau e toia mai e te Ariki i roto i nga mahi kino katoa, e whakaorangia hoki tae noa ki tona rangatiratanga i te rangi: waiho atu i a ia te kororia ake ake. Amine.

19 Oha atu ki a Pirihira raua ko Akuira, ki te hunga ano hoki o te whare o Onehipora.

20 I noho atu a Eratu i Koriniti: ko Toropimu i mahue atu i ahau ki Miretu, he mate.

21 Kia puta tou uaua ki te haere mai i mua o te hotoke. Tenei te oha atu nei ki a koe a Upuru, a Purena, a Rinuha, a Karauria, me nga teina katoa.

22 Kia noho te Ariki ki tou wairua, Kia tau te aroha noa ki a koutou.
