Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1I command you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom:
1Testificor coram Deo, et Jesu Christo, qui judicaturus est vivos et mortuos, per adventum ipsius, et regnum ejus:
2preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.
2prædica verbum, insta opportune, importune: argue, obsecra, increpa in omni patientia, et doctrina.
3For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts,
3Erit enim tempus, cum sanam doctrinam non sustinebunt, sed ad sua desideria coacervabunt sibi magistros, prurientes auribus,
4and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn away to fables.
4et a veritate quidem auditum avertent, ad fabulas autem convertentur.
5But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.
5Tu vero vigila, in omnibus labora, opus fac evangelistæ, ministerium tuum imple. Sobrius esto.
6For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
6Ego enim jam delibor, et tempus resolutionis meæ instat.
7I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
7Bonum certamen certavi, cursum consummavi, fidem servavi.
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.
8In reliquo reposita est mihi corona justitiæ, quam reddet mihi Dominus in illa die, justus judex: non solum autem mihi, sed et iis, qui diligunt adventum ejus. Festina ad me venire cito.
9Be diligent to come to me soon,
9Demas enim me reliquit, diligens hoc sæculum, et abiit Thessalonicam:
10for Demas left me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; and Titus to Dalmatia.
10Crescens in Galatiam, Titus in Dalmatiam.
11Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
11Lucas est mecum solus. Marcum assume, et adduc tecum: est enim mihi utilis in ministerium.
12But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
12Tychicum autem misi Ephesum.
13Bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.
13Penulam, quam reliqui Troade apud Carpum, veniens affer tecum, et libros, maxime autem membranas.
14Alexander the coppersmith did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
14Alexander ærarius multa mala mihi ostendit: reddet illi Dominus secundum opera ejus:
15Beware of him, for he greatly opposed our words.
15quem et tu devita: valde enim restitit verbis nostris.
16At my first defense, no one came to help me, but all left me. May it not be held against them.
16In prima mea defensione nemo mihi affuit, sed omnes me dereliquerunt: non illis imputetur.
17But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
17Dominus autem mihi astitit, et confortavit me, ut per me prædicatio impleatur, et audiant omnes gentes: et liberatus sum de ore leonis.
18And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
18Liberavit me Dominus ab omni opere malo: et salvum faciet in regnum suum cæleste, cui gloria in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.
19Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
19Saluta Priscam, et Aquilam, et Onesiphori domum.
20Erastus remained at Corinth, but I left Trophimus at Miletus sick.
20Erastus remansit Corinthi. Trophimum autem reliqui infirmum Mileti.

21Festina ante hiemem venire. Salutant te Eubulus, et Pudens, et Linus, et Claudia, et fratres omnes.
