The Abandoned Apostle

Be diligent to come to me quickly; 10 for (A)Demas has forsaken me, (B)having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica—Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Get (C)Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministry. 12 And (D)Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. 13 Bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas when you come—and the books, especially the parchments.

Give diligence to come shortly unto me: 10 for Demas forsook me, having loved this present [a]world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to [b]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.
