2Timothy:4:9-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me :
*
For Demas hath forsaken me ,
having loved this present world ,
and is departed unto Thessalonica ;
Crescens to Galatia ,
Titus unto Dalmatia .
*
Only Luke is with me .
Take Mark ,
and bring him with thee :
for he is profitable to me for the ministry .
*
And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus .
*
The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus ,
when thou comest ,
bring with thee ,
and the books ,
but especially the parchments .
*
Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil :
the Lord reward him according to his works :
*
Of whom be thou ware also ;
for he hath greatly withstood our words .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
