Paul encourages Timothy to continue preaching the word of God faithfully as some may reject sound teaching and follow myths. He reminds Timothy that God will reward those who have loved Christ's appearing with a crown of righteousness on judgment day. The early Christians devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, prayer, and sharing possessions to help those in need, praising God together daily.

2. I have fought the good fight, I have finished
the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth
there is laid up 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 loved his
appearing.
2 Timothy 4:7-8 (ESV)

8. I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus,
who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his
appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready
in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and
exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the
time is coming when people will not endure sound
teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate
for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and
will turn away from listening to the truth and wander
off into myths.
2 Timothy 4:1-4 (ESV)

9. And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching
and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the
prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many
wonders and signs were being done through the
apostles. And all who believed were together and had
all things in common. And they were selling their
possessions and belongings and distributing the
proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day,
attending the temple together and breaking bread in
their homes, they received their food with glad and
generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all
the people. And the Lord added to their number day by
day those who were being saved.
Acts 2:42-47 (ESV)
