6 For I’m about to be sacrificed—the time of my death is approaching.
9 Please try to come to me as soon as you can. 10 Demas has abandoned me because he loves the things of this world more, and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is here with me. Bring Mark with you, because he can help me with my work. 13 When you come please bring the cloak I left behind with Carpus in Troas—and the books, especially the parchments.
16 When it came to my first defense,4:16. Referring to a judicial trial. no one stood up for me—everyone abandoned me. May they not be blamed for this.
