Travel Plans and Concluding Greetings

Make every effort to come to me soon. 10 For Demas[a] deserted me, since he loved[b] the present age, and he went to Thessalonica. Crescens went to Galatia and Titus to Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is a great help[c] to me in ministry.[d] 12 Now I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring with you the cloak I left in Troas with Carpas and the scrolls, especially the parchments. 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me a great deal of harm.[e] The Lord will repay him in keeping with his deeds.[f] 15 You be on guard against him[g] too, because he vehemently opposed our words.
