The Second Letter of Saint Paul to Timothy   4: 10-17

4:10 Crescens has gone to Galatia; Titus to Dalmatia.
4:11 Luke alone is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you; for he is useful to me in the ministry.
4:12 But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
4:13 When you return, bring with you the supplies that I left with Carpus at Troas, and the books, but especially the parchments.
4:14 Alexander the coppersmith has shown me much evil; the Lord will repay him according to his works.
4:15 And you should also avoid him; for he has strongly resisted our words.
4:16 At my first defense, no one stood by me, but everyone abandoned me. May it not be counted against them!
4:17 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.
