2 Timothy 4:2

Be instant [ε π ι σ τ η θ ι]. Better, be ready. Once in Paul, 1 Thessalonians 5:3. Frequent in Luke and Acts. Lit. stand by, be at hand, be present. To come suddenly upon, Luke 2:38. Hence, be ready. Instant signifies urgent, importunate, persevering. Lat. instant to press upon. Thus Latimer, "I preached at the instant request of a curate." So N. T., Romans 12:12, "Continuing instant in prayer."

In season [ε υ κ α ι ρ ω ς]. Only here and Mark 14:11. LXX once, Sir. 18
