2 Timothy 4: 6-8 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. I have fought the good fight,I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day-and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
