2 Timothy 4:4-6
New English Translation
4 And they will turn away from hearing the truth, but on the other hand they will turn aside to myths.[a] 5 You, however, be self-controlled[b] in all things, endure hardship, do an evangelist’s work, fulfill your ministry. 6 For I am already being poured out as an offering, and the time for me to depart[c] is at hand.
