10. for Demas, having loved this world, has deserted me and gone to Thessolonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia.

12. I have sent Tychius to Ephesus.
13. When you come, bring the cloak which I left with Carpus in Troas, along with the scrolls, and especially the parchments.
14. Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm—the Lord will repay him according to his deeds.
15. Be on guard against him too, for he vehemently opposed our message.
