Do the work of an evangelist
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: 10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
5 Pero tú vela en todo, soporta las aflicciones, haz la obra de evangelista, cumple tu ministerio. 6 Porque yo ya estoy para ser sacrificado, y el tiempo de mi partida está cercano. 7 He peleado la buena batalla, he acabado mi carrera, he guardado la fe. 8 Por lo demás, me está guardada la corona de justicia, la cual me dará el Señor, juez justo, en aquel día; y no sólo a mí, sino también a todos los que aman su venida. 9 Procura venir pronto a mí; 10 porque Demas me ha desamparado, amando este mundo presente, y se ha ido a Tesalónica; Crescente a Galacia, Tito a Dalmacia. 11 Sólo Lucas está conmigo. Toma a Marcos y tráele contigo; porque me es útil para el ministerio.
