55:004:007 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have
kept the faith:
55:004:008 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
55:004:009 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
55:004:010 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
55:004:011 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
55:004:012 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
55:004:013 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest,
bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.
55:004:014 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward
him according to his works:
55:004:015 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our
words.
55:004:016 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.
