“But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.”
As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. — Timothy's counter-call: nēphō (be sober), paschō (endure suffering), poieō (accomplish) the erga euaggelistou (work of evangelist), plerophoreō (fully complete) the diakonia (ministry). Steadfast perseverance marks authentic pastoral fidelity.
