[7] I have fought a good fight, I have
finished my course, I have kept the faith:

2 Timothy 4:8-22 (KJV)
[8] Henceforth 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 them also that love his appearing.
[9] Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
[10] For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved
this present world, and is departed unto
Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus
unto Dalmatia.
[11] Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and
bring him with thee: for he is profitable
to me for the ministry.
[12] And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
[13] The cloke that I left at Troas with
Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee,
and the books, but especially the parchments.
[14] Alexander the coppersmith did me much
evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:
[15] Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath
greatly withstood our words.
[16] At my first answer no man stood with me,
but all men forsook me: I pray God that it
may not be laid to their charge.
[17] Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me,
and strengthened me; that by me the preaching
might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles
might hear: and I was delivered out of
the mouth of the lion.
[18] And the Lord shall deliver me from every
evil work, and will preserve me unto his
heavenly kingdom: to whom be
glory for ever and ever. Amen.
[19] Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the
household of Onesiphorus.
[20] Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus
have I left at Miletum sick.
[21] Do thy diligence to come before winter.
Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus,
and Claudia, and all the brethren.
[22] The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit.
Grace be with you. Amen.
