Personal Concerns
9 (A)Make every effort to come to me soon; 10 for (B)Demas, having loved (C)this present [a]world, has deserted me and gone to (D)Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to [b](E)Galatia, (F)Titus to Dalmatia. 11 (G)Only (H)Luke is with me. Take along (I)Mark and bring him with you, (J)for he is useful to me for service. 12 But I have sent (K)Tychicus to (L)Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring the overcoat which I left at (M)Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments. 14 (N)Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; (O)the Lord will repay him according to his deeds. 15 Be on guard against him yourself too, for he vigorously opposed our [c]teaching.
16 At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; (P)may it not be counted against them. 17 But the Lord stood with me and (Q)strengthened me, so that through me (R)the proclamation might [d]be (S)fully accomplished, and that all (T)the Gentiles might hear; and I was (U)rescued out of (V)the lion’s mouth. 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will [e](W)bring me safely to His (X)heavenly kingdom; (Y)to [f]Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
19 Greet Prisca and (Z)Aquila, and (AA)the household of Onesiphorus. 20 (AB)Erastus remained at (AC)Corinth, but I left (AD)Trophimus sick at (AE)Miletus. 21 (AF)Make every effort to come before (AG)winter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers and sisters.
22 (AH)The Lord be with your spirit. (AI)Grace be with you.

Personal Remarks
9 Do your best to come to me quickly,(A) 10 for Demas,(B) because he loved this world,(C) has deserted me and has gone to Thessalonica.(D) Crescens has gone to Galatia,(E) and Titus(F) to Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke(G) is with me.(H) Get Mark(I) and bring him with you, because he is helpful to me in my ministry. 12 I sent Tychicus(J) to Ephesus.(K) 13 When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas,(L) and my scrolls, especially the parchments.
14 Alexander(M) the metalworker did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will repay him for what he has done.(N) 15 You too should be on your guard against him, because he strongly opposed our message.
16 At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them.(O) 17 But the Lord stood at my side(P) and gave me strength,(Q) so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it.(R) And I was delivered from the lion’s mouth.(S) 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack(T) and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom.(U) To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.(V)
