2 Timothy 4:7

Preach the Word

6For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand.7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.8From now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing.
