7. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith;
8. in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.
9. Make every effort to come to me soon;
10. for Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
11. Only Luke is with me. Pick up Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.
12. But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
13. When you come bring the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.
