‏ 2 Timothy 4:5

 But be thou sober ( συ δε νηφε ). Present active imperative of  νηφω, for which see 1Th 5:6, 8. "Be sober in thy head."

 Suffer hardship ( κακοπαθησον ). See 2:9.

 Do the work of an evangelist ( εργον ποιησον ευαγγελιστου ). See 1Co 1:17; Eph 4:11 for  ευαγγελιστης, gospelizer.

 Fulfil ( πληροφορησον ). First aorist active imperative of  πληροφορεω, for which see Col 4:12. In Col 4:17 Paul uses  πληροω to Archippus about his ministry as he here employs  πληροφορεω. Both verbs mean to fill full.
