Demas

Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas greet you.

and from Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

Hath

At 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].

You are aware of the fact that all who are in [the province of] Asia turned away and deserted me, Phygelus and Hermogenes among them.

But all this has taken place so that the Scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.

Now Paul and his companions sailed from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia; but John [Mark] left them and went back to Jerusalem.

But Paul kept insisting that they should not take along with them the one who had quit and deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone on with them to the work.

Abandoning the straight road [that is, the right way to live], they have gone astray; they have followed the way of [the false teacher] Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the reward of wickedness;

Having

Another also said, “I will follow You, Lord [as Your disciple]; but first let me say goodbye to those at my home.”

“If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life [in the sense of indifference to or relative disregard for them in comparison with his attitude toward God]—he cannot be My disciple.

No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand devotedly by the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and mammon [that is, your earthly possessions or anything else you trust in and rely on instead of God].”

Remember [what happened to] Lot’s wife [when she looked back]!

For the others [who deserted me after my arrest] all seek [to advance] their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

For the love of money [that is, the greedy desire for it and the willingness to gain it unethically] is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves [through and through] with many sorrows.

Do not love the world [of sin that opposes God and His precepts], nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God].

Thessalonica

Now after Paul and Silas had traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

Galatia

Now they passed through the territory of Phrygia and Galatia, after being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in [the west coast province of] Asia [Minor];

After spending some time there, he left and traveled through the territory of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening and encouraging all the disciples.

and all the brothers who are with me,

To the churches of Galatia:

Titus

my spirit could not rest because I did not find my brother Titus there; so saying goodbye to them, I left for Macedonia.

But God, who comforts and encourages the depressed and the disquieted, comforted us by the arrival of Titus.

So we urged Titus that, as he began it, he should also complete this gracious work among you as well.

Then after a period of fourteen years I again went up to Jerusalem, [this time] with Barnabas, taking Titus along also.

To Titus, my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace [inner calm and spiritual well-being] from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.

‘All winged insects that walk on all fours are detestable to you;

So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not [carefully consider the cost and then for My sake]

give up all his own possessions.

Some [widows] have already turned away [from the faith] to follow Satan.
