[bbe] i give you orders, before god and christ jesus, who will be the judge of the living and the dead, and by his revelation and his kingdom;

[kjv] preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

[bbe] be preaching the word at all times, in every place; make protests, say sharp words, give comfort, with long waiting and teaching;

4:3 [hgb] 因 为 时 候 要 到 ， 人 必 厌 烦 纯 正 的 道 理 。 耳 朵 发 痒 ， 就 随 从 自 己 的 情 欲 ， 增 添 好 些 师 傅 。

[kjv] for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

[bbe] for the time will come when they will not take the true teaching; but, moved by their desires, they will get for themselves a great number of teachers for the pleasure of hearing them;

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

[bbe] for demas has gone away from me, for love of this present life, and has gone to thessalonica: crescens has gone to galatia, titus to dalmatia.

4:16 [hgb] 我 初 次 申 诉 ， 没 有 人 前 来 帮 助 ， 竟 都 离 弃 我 。 但 愿 这 罪 不 归 与 他 们 。

4:17 [hgb] 惟 有 主 站 在 我 旁 边 ， 加 给 我 力 量 ， 使 福 音 被 我 尽 都 传 明 ， 叫 外 邦 人 都 听 见 。 我 也 从 狮 子 口 里 被 救 出 来 。

[kjv] notwithstanding the lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the gentiles might hear: and i was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

[bbe] but the lord was by my side and gave me strength; so that through me the news might be given out in full measure, and all the gentiles might give ear: and i was taken out of the mouth of the lion.
