2 Timothy 4:9-18 - Final Instructions To Timothy
9 Do your utmost to come to me soon; 10 for Demas, in his love for the world, has deserted me. He has gone to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. 11 There is no one but Luke with me. Pick up Mark on your way, and bring him with you, for he is useful to me in my work. 12 I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus. 13 Bring with you, when you come, the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments. 14 Alexander, the coppersmith, showed much ill-feeling towards me. 'The Lord will give him what his actions deserve.' 15 Do you also, be on your guard against him, for he is strongly opposed to our teaching.
16 At my first trial no one stood by me. They all deserted me. May it never be counted against them! 17 But the Lord came to my help and strengthened me, in order that, through me, the proclamation should be made so widely that all the Gentiles should hear it; and I was rescued 'out of the Lion's mouth.' 18 The Lord will rescue me from all evil, and bring me safe into his Heavenly Kingdom. All glory to him for ever and ever! Amen.
