Personal Concerns

(A)Make every effort to come to me soon; 10 for (B)Demas, having loved (C)this present [a]world, has deserted me and gone to (D)Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to [b](E)Galatia, (F)Titus to Dalmatia. 11 (G)Only (H)Luke is with me. Take along (I)Mark and bring him with you, (J)for he is useful to me for service. 12 But I have sent (K)Tychicus to (L)Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring the overcoat which I left at (M)Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.

Final Instructions to Timothy

Do your best to come to me soon, 10 because Demas, having fallen in love with this present world, has abandoned me and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful in my ministry. 12 I have sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

13 When you come, bring the coat I left with Carpus in Troas, as well as the scrolls and especially the parchments.[a]
