The passage opens with a solemn charge to Timothy to preach the gospel persistently, warning that a time will come when people will reject sound doctrine in favor of teachers who cater to their desires. The chapter's emotional center is Paul's farewell statement \u2014 \"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith\" \u2014 written from apparent imprisonment and anticipating his death, with confidence that a \"crown of righteousness\" awaits him. The remainder consists of personal notes: abandoned by most companions (notably Demas, who \"loved this present world\"), sustained only by Luke, asking Timothy to come quickly and bring a cloak and scrolls, warning against Alexander the coppersmith, and reporting that the Lord alone stood by him at his first legal defense. The KJV column's embedded Strong's numbers make this a reference tool for word-level Greek-English-Latin comparison, useful for textual study or translation work rather than devotional reading alone.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: 2 Timothy: 2 Timothy 4","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":1117}
