Get Mark and take him with you; for he is of use to me in the work. +Tychicus I sent to Ephesus. +The coat which I did not take from Troas and which is with Carpus, get when you come, and the books, specially the papers. +Alexander the copper-worker did me much wrong: the Lord will give him the reward of his works: +But be on the watch for him, for he was violent in his attacks on our teaching. +At my first meeting with my judges, no one took my part, but all went away from me. May it not be put to their account. +But the Lord was by my side and gave me strength; so that through me the news might be given out in full measure, and all the Gentiles might give ear: and I was taken out of the mouth of the lion. +The Lord will keep me safe from every evil work and will give me salvation in his kingdom in heaven: to whom be glory for ever and ever. So be it. +Give my love to Prisca and Aquila and those of the house of Onesiphorus. +Erastus was stopping at Corinth; but Trophimus, when I last saw him was at Miletus, ill. +Do your best to come before the winter. Eubulus sends you his love, and Pudens and Linus and Claudia, and all the brothers. +The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you. |
