{I am thankful} to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience {as my ancestors did}, when {I remember you constantly} in my prayers night and day,

but [when he] was in Rome, he diligently sought me and found [me].

For there will be a time when they will not put up with sound teaching, but in accordance with their own desires, they will accumulate for themselves teachers, {because they have an insatiable curiosity},

[When you] come, bring the cloak that I left behind in Troas with Carpus, and the scrolls, especially the parchments.
