2 Timothy 4:9-15

Personal Instructions

9 d Do your best to come to me soon. 10 For e Demas, f in love with g this present world, h has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, 1 i Titus to Dalmatia. 11 h Luke alone is with me. Get j Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry. 12 k Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments. 14 l Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; m the Lord will repay him according to his deeds. 15 Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message.
