2 Timothy 4:9 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Timothy 4:9

7 ^aI have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

8 Finally, there is laid up for me ^athe crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous ^bJudge, will give to me ^con that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.

The Abandoned Apostle

9 Be diligent to come to me quickly;

10 for ^aDemas has forsaken me, ^bhaving loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica—Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia.

11 Only Luke is with me. Get ^aMark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for ministry.

12 And ^aTychicus 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 ^aAlexander the coppersmith did me much harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works.
