2 Timothy 4:9-18 - Final Instructions To Timothy
9 Do your best to come to me soon, 10 for Demas has deserted me for love of the present world, and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. 11 No one but Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is of great assistance to me, 12 and I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and the books, especially the parchments. 14 Alexander, the metal-worker, did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will repay him for what he did. 15 You too must be on your guard against him, for he vehemently opposed my teaching.
16 At my first appearance in court no one came to help me; everybody deserted me. May no one lay it up against them! 17 But the Lord stood by me, and gave me strength, so that I might make a full presentation of the message and let all the heathen hear it. So I was saved from the jaws of the lion. 18 The Lord will rescue me from any harm and bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory forever and ever. Amen.
