2 Timothy 4

http://www.esvbible.org/2+Timothy+4/

Paul encourages, as always by telling Timothy (and us) to complete the work set out by God. Teach the Word all the time. Be ready to point out errors, warn of judgement, and encourage. Be patient in teaching. In the future, people will not listen to accurate teachings. They will only listen to and do what they please. He warns to keep a clear head and endure the suffering. Devote yourself to your work. Endurance and devotion are the only ways to ensure salvation because it may seem like a long life, and you will have plenty of opportunities to walk away from God, but you must stay strong in order to fully fullfil what you were put on this Earth to do. Paul says that he knows his time is coming, and he isn't sad about it. He kept faith, and he knows his reward is coming. He will give the same reward to everyone who believes and keeps faith.
