Lectionary:
2nd reading for 2 Timothy 3
14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and
have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15
and how from infancy you
have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through
faith in Christ Jesus. 16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching,
rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the
man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 4
1 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will
judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I
give you this charge: 2 Preach
the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with
great patience and careful instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not put up with
sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around
them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn
aside to myths. 5 But
you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an
evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
