2 Timothy 4:2-4

International Children’s Bible

² Preach the Good News. Be ready at all times. Tell people what they need to do, tell them when they are wrong, and encourage them. Do these things with great patience and careful teaching. ³ The time will come when people will not listen to the true teaching. They will find more and more teachers who are pleasing to them, teachers who say the things they want to hear. ⁴ They will stop listening to the truth. They will begin to follow the teaching in false stories.
