A Charge to Keep – A Crown to Receive

“I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:

Preach the word!
Be ready in season and out of season.
Convince,
Rebuke,
Exhort, with all long-suffering and teaching.
Be watchful in all things,
Endure afflictions,
Do the work of an evangelist,
Fulfill your ministry.

Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.”

2 Timothy 4:1-2, 5, 8
