2 Timothy 4:9-18

9Use diligence to come to me quickly;

10for Demas has forsaken me, having loved the present age, and is gone to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

11Luke alone is with me. Take Mark, and bring [him] with thyself, for he is serviceable to me for ministry.

12But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.

13The cloak which I left behind [me] in Troas at Carpus's, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments.

14Alexander the smith did many evil things against me. The Lord will render to him according to his works.

15Against whom be thou also on thy guard, for he has greatly withstood our words.

16At my first defence no man stood with me, but all deserted me. May it not be imputed to them.

17But the Lord stood with [me], and gave me power, that through me the proclamation might be fully made, and all [those of] the nations should hear; and I was delivered out of the lion's mouth.

18The Lord shall deliver me from every wicked work, and shall preserve [me] for his heavenly kingdom; to whom [be] glory for the ages of ages. Amen.
