2 Timothy 4:9-22
New King James Version
The Abandoned Apostle
9 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.
14 (E)Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works. 15 You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words.
16 At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. (F)May it not be charged against them.
The Lord Is Faithful
17 (G)But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, (H)so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered (I)out of the mouth of the lion. 18 (J)And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. (K)To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!
Come Before Winter
19 Greet (L)Prisca and Aquila, and the household of (M)Onesiphorus. 20 (N)Erastus stayed in Corinth, but (O)Trophimus I have left in Miletus sick.
21 Do your utmost to come before winter.
Eubulus greets you, as well as Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brethren.
Farewell
22 The Lord [a]Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
