2 Timothy 4:16-22

16At my first defense no one appeared in my support; instead they all deserted me – may they not be held accountable for it.

17But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed for all the Gentiles to hear. And so I was delivered from the lion’s mouth!

18The Lord will deliver me from every evil deed and will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever! Amen.

19Greetings to Prisca and Aquila and the family of Onesiphorus.

20Erastus stayed in Corinth. Trophimus I left ill in Miletus.

21Make every effort to come before winter. Greetings to you from Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers and sisters.

22The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
