Paul reminds Timothy to avoid ungodly beliefs and practices and to flee from anything immoral (2 Timothy 2:14-26). In the end times there will be both intense persecution and apostasy from the Christian faith (2 Timothy 3:1-17). Paul closes with an intense plea for believers to stand firm in the faith and to finish the race strong (2 Timothy 4:1-8).
Paulo anamkumbusha Timotheo kuepuka na imani potofu na matendo maovu na kujitenga na chochote kiovu (2 Timotheo 2: 14-26). Katika nyakati za mwisho kutakuwa na mateso makali na uasi kutoka kwa imani ya Kikristo (2 Timotheo 3: 1-17). Paulo anamaliza kwa ombi kali kwa waumini kusimama imara katika imani na kumaliza mbio kwa nguvu (2 Timotheo 4: 1-8).
