Urgent Personal Requests and Warnings

Make every effort to come to me quickly,

10

because Demas, in his love of this world, has deserted me and 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, because he is useful to me in the ministry.

12

Tychicus, however, I have sent to Ephesus.

13

When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and my scrolls, especially the parchments.

14

Alexander the coppersmith did great harm to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

15

You too should beware of him, for he has vigorously opposed our message.

16

At my first defense, no one stood with me, but everyone deserted me. May it not be charged against them.

17

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed, and all the Gentiles would hear it. So I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.

18

And the Lord will rescue me from every evil action and bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
