| [1]Testificor coram Deo, et Jesu Christo, qui judicaturus est vivos et mortuos, per adventum ipsius, et regnum ejus: |
[1]I charge thee therefore before God, and before the Lord Jesus Christ, which shall judge the quick and dead at that his appearing, and in his kingdom, |
| [2]prædica verbum, insta opportune, importune: argue, obsecra, increpa in omni patientia, et doctrina. |
[2]Preach the word: be instant, in season and out of season: improve, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. |
| [3]Erit enim tempus, cum sanam doctrinam non sustinebunt, sed ad sua desideria coacervabunt sibi magistros, prurientes auribus, |
[3]For the time will come, when they will not suffer wholesome doctrine: but having their ears itching, shall after their own lusts get them an heap of teachers, |
| [4]et a veritate quidem auditum avertent, ad fabulas autem convertentur. |
[4]And shall turn their ears from the truth, and shall be given unto fables. |
| [5]Tu vero vigila, in omnibus labora, opus fac evangelistæ, ministerium tuum imple. Sobrius esto. |
[5]But watch thou in all things: suffer adversity: do the work of an Evangelist: make thy ministry fully known. |
| [6]Ego enim jam delibor, et tempus resolutionis meæ instat. |
[6]For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departing is at hand. |
| [7]Bonum certamen certavi, cursum consummavi, fidem servavi. |
[7]I have fought a good fight, and have finished my course: I have kept the faith. |
| [8]In reliquo reposita est mihi corona justitiæ, quam reddet mihi Dominus in illa die, justus judex: non solum autem mihi, sed et iis, qui diligunt adventum ejus. Festina ad me venire cito. |
[8]For henceforth is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteous judge shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. |
| [9]Demas enim me reliquit, diligens hoc sæculum, et abiit Thessalonicam: |
[9]Make speed to come unto me at once. |
| [10]Crescens in Galatiam, Titus in Dalmatiam. |
[10]For Demas hath forsaken me, and hath embraced this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica. Crescens is gone to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. |
| [11]Lucas est mecum solus. Marcum assume, et adduc tecum: est enim mihi utilis in ministerium. |
[11]Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with thee: for he is profitable unto me to minister. |
| [12]Tychicum autem misi Ephesum. |
[12]And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. |
| [13]Penulam, quam reliqui Troade apud Carpum, veniens affer tecum, et libros, maxime autem membranas. |
[13]The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but specially the parchments. |
| [14]Alexander ærarius multa mala mihi ostendit: reddet illi Dominus secundum opera ejus: |
[14]Alexander the coppersmith hath done me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works. |
| [15]quem et tu devita: valde enim restitit verbis nostris. |
[15]Of whom be thou ware also: for he withstood our preaching sore. |
| [16]In prima mea defensione nemo mihi affuit, sed omnes me dereliquerunt: non illis imputetur. |
[16]At my first answering no man assisted me, but all forsook me: I pray God, that it may not be laid to their charge. |
| [17]Dominus autem mihi astitit, et confortavit me, ut per me prædicatio impleatur, et audiant omnes gentes: et liberatus sum de ore leonis. |
[17]Notwithstanding the Lord assisted me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles should hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. |
| [18]Liberavit me Dominus ab omni opere malo: et salvum faciet in regnum suum cæleste, cui gloria in sæcula sæculorum. Amen. |
[18]And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be praise forever and ever, Amen. |
| [19]Saluta Priscam, et Aquilam, et Onesiphori domum. |
[19]Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. |
| [20]Erastus remansit Corinthi. Trophimum autem reliqui infirmum Mileti. |
[20]Erastus abode at Corinth: Trophimus I left at Miletum sick. |
| [21]Festina ante hiemem venire. Salutant te Eubulus, et Pudens, et Linus, et Claudia, et fratres omnes. |
[21]Make speed to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. |
| [22]Dominus Jesus Christus cum spiritu tuo. Gratia vobiscum. Amen. |
[22]The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you, Amen. |
