2 Timothy 4:9-18 - Final Instructions To Timothy
9 Hasten to come to me shortly: 10 for Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is gone unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia; Titus to Dalmatia. 11 Luke alone is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee; for he is very useful to me in the ministry. 12 But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. 13 The cloke which I left behind me at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest bring, and the books, especially the parchments. 14 Alexander the brazier did me many ill offices: the Lord repay him according to his works: 15 against whom be thou also on thy guard, for he hath greatly resisted our words.
16 At my first apology no man stood by me, but all forsook me: (may it not be imputed to them!) 17 but the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching might be fully discharged, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was snatched out of the lion's mouth. 18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and preserve me for his celestial kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
