2 Timothy 4:1–5: Preach the Word in Season
Paul's charge to Timothy makes preaching the word a command issued before God and Christ, not a career move. It is to be carried out in and out of season, because a time is coming when hearers will not endure sound doctrine.
2 Timothy 4:1–5: Preach the Word in Season
Paul grounds the command to preach in the authority of God and of Christ who will judge the living and the dead, not in how listeners respond. Timothy is to stay urgent and patient whether the moment is favorable or not, leaving results to the day of Christ.
