2 Timothy 4:5-7
New English Translation
5 You, however, be self-controlled[a] in all things, endure hardship, do an evangelist’s work, fulfill your ministry. 6 For I am already being poured out as an offering, and the time for me to depart[b] is at hand. 7 I have competed well;[c] I have finished the race; I have kept the faith!

- 2 Timothy 4:5 tn Or “sober,” “temperate.”
- 2 Timothy 4:6 tn Grk “of my departure.”
- 2 Timothy 4:7 sn The expression I have competed well (Grk “I have competed the good competition”) uses words that may refer to a race or to a boxing or wrestling match: “run the good race” or “fight the good fight.” The similar phrase in 1 Tim 1:18 uses a military picture and is more literally “war the good warfare.”
