1I command you therefore before Godand the Lord Jesus Christ,who will judge the livingand the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:2preach the word;be urgent in season and out of season;reprove, rebuke,and exhort with all patience and teaching.3For the time will comewhen they will not listen to the sound doctrine,but having itching ears,will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts,4and will turn away their ears from the truth,and turn away to fables.5But you be sober in all things,suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist,and fulfill your ministry.

6For I am already being offered,and the time of my departure has come.7I have fought the good fight.I have finished the course.I have kept the faith.8From now on, the crown of righteousness is stored up for me,which the Lord, the righteous judge,will give to me on that day;and not to me only,but also to all those who have loved his appearing.

8My mouth shall be filled with your praise,with your honor all day long.9Don’t reject me in my old age.Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.

14But I will always hope,and will add to all of your praise.15My mouth will tell about your righteousness,and of your salvation all day,though I don’t know its full measure.

16I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD.I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.17God, you have taught me from my youth.Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.

22I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God.I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.

38In his teaching he said to them,“Beware of the scribes,who like to walk in long robes,and to get greetings in the marketplaces,39and to get the best seats in the synagoguesand the best places at feasts,40those who devour widows’ houses,and for a pretense make long prayers.These will receive greater condemnation.”

41Jesus sat down opposite the treasuryand saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury.Many who were rich cast in much.42A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins,which equal a quadrans coin.43He called his disciples to himself and said to them,“Most certainly I tell you,this poor widow gave more than all thosewho are giving into the treasury,44for they all gave out of their abundance,but she, out of her poverty,gave all that she had to live on.”
