2 Timothy 4:9-18 - Final Instructions To Timothy

⁹ Give diligence to come unto me speedily, ¹⁰ For, Demas, hath forsaken me, having loved the present age, and hath journeyed unto Thessalonica; Crescens unto Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia: ¹¹ Luke, alone is with me. Receiving, Mark, back, bring him with thyself, for he is very useful to me for ministering; ¹² and, Tychicus, have I sent unto Ephesus. ¹³ The cloak that I left in Troas, with Carpus, when thou comest, bring; and the scrolls, especially, the parchments. ¹⁴ Alexander the coppersmith, of much baseness towards me, hath given proof, - the Lord will render unto him according to his works. - ¹⁵ Of whom, be, thou also, on thy guard, for he hath greatly withstood our words.

¹⁶ In my first defence, no man, came in to help me, but, all, forsook me, - unto them, may it not be reckoned! - ¹⁷ But, the Lord, stood by me, and empowered me, in order that, through me, the proclamation, might be fully made, and, all the nations, might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of a lion: - ¹⁸ The Lord will rescue me from every wicked work, and will bring me safe into his heavenly kingdom: unto whom be the glory, unto the ages of ages. Amen.
