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

⁹ Make speed to come unto me at once. ¹⁰ For Demas hath left me, and hath loved this present world, and is departed into Thessalonica. Crescens is gone to Galatia, and Titus unto Dalmatia. ¹¹ Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with thee, for he is necessary unto me for to minister. ¹² And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. ¹³ The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus when thou comest bring with thee, and the books, but specially the parchment. ¹⁴ Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil, the Lord reward him according to his deeds, ¹⁵ of whom be thou ware also. For he withstood our preaching, sore.

¹⁶ At my first answering for myself, no man assisted me, but all forsook me. I pray God, that it may not be laid to their charges: ¹⁷ notwithstanding the Lord assisted me, and strengthed me, that by me the preaching should be fulfilled to the utmost and that all the gentiles should hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. ¹⁸ And the Lord shall deliver me from all evil doing, and shall keep me unto his heavenly kingdom. To whom be praise for ever and ever. Amen.
