"But be self-controlled in all things, do without comfort, go on preaching the good news, completing the work which has been given you to do."
— 2 Timothy 4:5, Bible in Basic English
“But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.”
“But be thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. ”
“But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.”
“You, however, be self-controlled in all things, endure hardship, do an evangelist’s work, fulfill your ministry.”
“But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober.”
“But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.”
Be preaching the word at all times, in every place; make protests, say sharp words, give comfort, with long waiting and teaching;
For the time will come when they will not take the true teaching; but, moved by their desires, they will get for themselves a great number of teachers for the pleasure of hearing them;
And shutting their ears to what is true, will be turned away to belief in foolish stories.
But be self-controlled in all things, do without comfort, go on preaching the good news, completing the work which has been given you to do.
For I am even now being offered, and my end is near.
I have made a good fight, I have come to the end of my journey, I have kept the faith:
From now on, the crown of righteousness is made ready for me, which the Lord, the upright judge, Will give to me at that day: and not only to me, but to all those who have had love for his revelation.
