13. When you return, bring with you the supplies that I left with Carpus at Troas, and the books, but especially the parchments.
14. Alexander the coppersmith has shown me much evil; the Lord will repay him according to his works.
15. And you should also avoid him; for he has strongly resisted our words.
16. At my first defense, no one stood by me, but everyone abandoned me. May it not be counted against them!
17. But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the preaching would be accomplished, and so that all the Gentiles would hear. And I was freed from the mouth of the lion.
18. The Lord has freed me from every evil work, and he will accomplish salvation by his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory forever and ever. Amen.
19. Greet Prisca, and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20. Erastus remained at Corinth. And Trophimus I left sick at Miletus.
21. Hurry to arrive before winter. Eubulus, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brothers greet you.
22. May the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. May grace be with you. Amen.
