2 Timothy 4:9-22 (Epistle)
- 9
- Be diligent to come to me quickly;
- 10
- for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica – Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia.
- 11
- Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministry.
- 12
- And Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
- 13
- Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas when you come – and the books, especially the parchments.
- 14
- Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works.
- 15
- You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words.
- 16
- At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them.
- 17
- But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
- 18
- And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!
- 19
- Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
- 20
- Erastus stayed in Corinth, but Trophimus I have left in Miletus sick.
- 21
- Do your utmost to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, as well as Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren.
- 22
- The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
