2 Timothy 4:11 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Timothy 4:11

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.
