tcent 2Timothy:4:9-18 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Do your best to come to me soon ;
*
for Demas ,
having loved this present world ,
has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica .
Crescens has gone to Galatia ,
and Titus to Dalmatia .
*
Only Luke is with me .
Get Mark and bring him with you ,
for he is useful to me in my ministry .
*
But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus .
*
When you come ,
bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas ,
and the books ,
especially the parchments .
*
Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm ;
the Lord will repay him for his deeds .
*
Be on guard against him yourself ,
for he strongly opposed our message .
*
At my first defense no one came to my support ,
but all deserted me ;
may it not be counted against them .
*
But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength ,
so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it .
And I was rescued from the lion '
s mouth .
*
The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom .
To him be the glory for ever and ever .
Amen .
