6 For I am already

being poured out

like a drink offering,

and the time for

my departure is near.

7 I have fought the good fight,

I have finished the race,

I have kept the faith.

8 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.
