9

Give diligence to come shortly unto me:

10

for Demas forsook me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

11

Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee for he is useful to me for ministering.

12

But Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.

13

The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments.

14

Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord will render to him according to his works:

15

of whom do thou also beware for he greatly withstood our words.

16

At my first defence no one took my part, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their account.

17

But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me that through me the message might me fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

18

The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] the glory forever and ever. Amen.
