2 Timothy 4:11-21

11Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very helpful to me for the ministry.

12But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.

13When you come bring the coat that I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.

14Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; [but that is no concern of mine, for] the Lord will repay him according to his actions.

15Be on guard against him yourself, because he vigorously opposed our message.

16At my first trial no one supported me [as an advocate] or stood with me, but they all deserted me. May it not be counted against them [by God].

17But the Lord stood by me and strengthened and empowered me, so that through me the [gospel] message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear it; and I was rescued from the mouth of the lion.

18The Lord will rescue me from every evil assault, and He will bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

19Give my greetings to Prisca and Aquila, and to the household of Onesiphorus.

20Erastus stayed on at Corinth, but I left Trophimus sick at Miletus.

21Try your best to come [to me] before winter. Eubulus wishes to be remembered to you, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brothers and sisters.
