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

⁹ Make haste to come to me quickly. ¹⁰ For Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and he has departed to Thessalonica. Crescens went to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. ¹¹ Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is profitable to me for the ministry. ¹² And I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. ¹³ When you come, bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments. ¹⁴ Alexander the coppersmith showed many evil things to me. The Lord will give back to him according to his works. ¹⁵ You also should beware of him, for he has greatly withstood our words.

¹⁶ At my first answer no one was beside me, but all deserted me. May it not be laid to their charge. ¹⁷ But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, that through me the preaching might be fulfilled, and that all the nations might hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. ¹⁸ And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work and will preserve me to His heavenly kingdom, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
