Apostol § 297

2 Timothy 3:16–4:4

My son Timothy, All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in / righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly equipped unto all good works. I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His Kingdom: Preach the Word! Be ready at any time and in every season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they shall turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
