9: Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

10: For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

11: Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

12: And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.

13: The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.

14: Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:

15: Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.

16: At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.

17: Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

18: And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
