2 Timothy 4:9-18 - Final Instructions To Timothy
9 Do your best to come to me shortly. 10 For Demas forsook me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica. Crescens went to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark with you, for he is useful to me for ministering. 12 I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring the books, parchments, and the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus. 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: God will render to him according to his works. 15 You should also beware of him, for he intensely opposed our words.
16 At first no one defended me. They all abandoned me. May it not be counted against them. 17 But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the people of the nations might hear. I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion (Satan the Devil) (great danger) (1 Peter 5:8) (Psalm 22:21) (1 Thessalonians 2:18). 18 The Lord will deliver me from every evil work. He will save me to his heavenly kingdom. To him is the glory forever and ever. Amen.
