2 Timothy 4.9-22
Personal Instructions
"Come to see me as soon as you can. Demas loves the things of this
world so much that he left me and went to Thessalonica. Crescens has
gone to Galatia, and Titus has gone to Dalmatia. Only Luke has stayed
with me. Mark can be very helpful to me, so please find him and bring
him with you. I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. When you come, bring the
coat I left at Troas with Carpus. Don't forget to bring the scrolls,
especially the ones made of leather. Alexander, the metalworker, has
hurt me in many ways. But the Lord will pay him back for what he has
done. Alexander opposes what we preach. You had better watch out for
him. When I was first put on trial, no one helped me. In fact,
everyone deserted me. I hope it won't be held against them. But the
Lord stood beside me. He gave me the strength to tell his full
message, so that all Gentiles would hear it. And I was kept safe from
hungry lions. The Lord will always keep me from being harmed by evil,
and he will bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. Praise him
forever and ever! Amen.
Final Greetings
Give my greetings to Priscilla and Aquila and to the family of
Onesiphorus. Erastus stayed at Corinth. Trophimus was sick when I left
him at Miletus.
Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, and
Claudia send you their greetings, and so do the rest of the Lord's
followers. I pray that the Lord will bless your life and will be kind
to you."
God bless you.
