2 Timothy 4:5

νήφε praes. imper. act. от νήφω (G3525) быть трезвым; то есть быть настороже, думать, обращать внимание на происходящее, следовать своей цели спокойно и уверенно (Fairbairn).
κακοπάθησον aor. imper. act. от κακοπαθέω (G2553) страдать от зла, сносить тяготы (см. 2 Timothy 1:8).
έργον (G2041) работа, деятельность,
ποίησον aor. imper. act. от ποιέω (G4160) делать. Aor. imper. призывает к специфическому действию с оттенком срочности,
εύαγγελιστής (G2099) тот, кто несет благую весть, евангелист. В нехристианской надписи это слово означает: "провозглашающий пророчество" (TDNT). Однако это слово прежде всего относится к проповеднику благой вести (TDNT; PGL; TLNT).
διακονία (G1248) служение, служба,
πληροφόρησον aor. imper. act. от πληροφορέω (G4135) проносить, выполнять, исполнять, совершать (LAE, 86f).
Aor. imper. призывает к специфическому действию с оттенком срочности.
