6. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my release is at hand.
7. I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith;
8. from now on 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 those also that have loved his appearing.
9. Procure to come shortly unto me;
10. for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
