Paul’s Valedictory

For (A)I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of (B)my departure is at hand. (C)I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me (D)the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous (E)Judge, will give to me (F)on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.

The Abandoned Apostle

Be diligent to come to me quickly; 10 for (G)Demas has forsaken me, (H)having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica—Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia.
