2 Timothy - 4:5 Meaning

“But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

4:1-5 People will turn away from the truth, they will grow weary of the plain gospel of Christ, they will be greedy of fables, and take pleasure in them. People do so when they will not endure that preaching which is searching, plain, and to the purpose. Those who love souls must be ever watchful, must venture and bear all the painful effects of their faithfulness, and take all opportunities of making known the pure gospel.

“And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.”
