New Testament

2 Timothy 4:10-20 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

10. Demas has deserted me. He has gone to Thessalonica. He left me because he loved this world. Crescens has gone to Galatia. Titus has gone to Dalmatia.

11. Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you. He helps me in my work for the Lord.

12. I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.

13. When you come, bring my coat. I left it with Carpus at Troas. Also bring my scrolls. Most of all, bring the ones made out of animal skins.

14. Remember Alexander, the one who works with metal? He did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will pay him back for what he has done.

15. You too should watch out for him. He strongly opposed our message.

16. The first time I was put on trial, no one came to help me. Everyone deserted me. I hope they will be forgiven for it.

17. The Lord stood at my side. He gave me the strength to preach the whole message. Then all those who weren't Jews heard it. I was saved from the lion's mouth.

18. The Lord will save me from every evil attack. He will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. Give him glory for ever and ever. Amen.

19. Greet Priscilla and Aquila. Greet those who live in the house of Onesiphorus.

20. Erastus stayed in Corinth. I left Trophimus sick in Miletus.
