2 Timothy 4:6-18

          6For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand.
          7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
          8From now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day — and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing.

          9Make every effort to come to me quickly,
          10because Demas, in his love of this world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.
          11Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is useful to me in the ministry.
          12Tychicus, however, I have sent to Ephesus.
          13When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and my scrolls, especially the parchments.

¹⁴Alexander the coppersmith did great harm to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

¹⁵You too should beware of him, for he has vigorously opposed our message.

          16At my first defense, no one stood with me, but everyone deserted me. May it not be charged against them.
          17But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed, and all the Gentiles would hear it. So I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.
          18And the Lord will rescue me from every evil action and bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
