    • And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

      But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

      For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

      I have fought long a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.

      Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give at that day, and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
