2 Timothy 4:9-15
Contemporary English Version
Personal Instructions
9 Come to see me as soon as you can. 10 (A) 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. 11 (B) Only Luke has stayed with me.
Mark can be very helpful to me, so please find him and bring him with you. 12 (C) I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
13 (D) 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.[a]
14 (E) Alexander, the metalworker, has hurt me in many ways. But the Lord will pay him back for what he has done. 15 Alexander opposes what we preach, so you had better watch out for him.

- 4.13 the ones made of leather: A scroll was a kind of rolled up book, and it could be made out of paper (called “papyrus”) or leather (that is, animal skin) or even copper.
