   (In the Order Believed Written)

9 - Do your best to come here soon.10 For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica.

     Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. 11 Luke alone is with me. Bring with you, for he’s a good helper to for ministry. 12 I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring the cloak I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments. 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm, the Lord will render to him according to his deeds. 15 Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message.16 At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. May it not be charged against them! 17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And so I was rescued from the lion's mouth. 18 The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever! Amen.

19 Greet Priscilla and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. [In his first letter, 1Tim.1:16, he wrote - “May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains.”] {Priscilla is now mentioned first.}

    20 Erastus stayed at Corinth, and I left Trophimus, who was ill, at Miletus. 21 Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus sends you greetings, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brothers. 22 The Lord be with your spirit. And grace be with you.
