2 Timothy 4:1-5 (English Standard Version)

 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

• Chapter 1 memory verse (vs.7) 

…for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

• Chapter 2 memory verse (vs. 2)

…and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

• Chapter 3 memory verse (vs. 12) 

Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted…

• Chapter 4 memory verse (vs. 7) 

I have fought the good fight, 

I have finished the race,

I have kept the Faith.
