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.
15 You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words.
