Reading

2 Timothy 4:9–22 ESV
Do your best to come to me soon. For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry. Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments. Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds. Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message. At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. May it not be charged against them! But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. Erastus remained at Corinth, and I left Trophimus, who was ill, at Miletus. Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus sends greetings to you, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brothers. The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.

Sermon

Do your best to come to be soon
Longs to see Timothy
Practical needs as well
Paul is in a cold, wet and unpleasant dungeon
Winter is approaching (v21)
Demas
Deserted me & gone to Thessalonica
Love with this present world
Paul list two types of people: “lovers of Jesus’ appearing” with “lovers of this present world”
Crescens has gone to Galatia / France (Gallia) - Mission
Titus to Dalmatia - Missions to Europe

Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry.
Luke alone is with me
Colossians 4:14 ESV
Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does Demas.
return:
2 Timothy 4:11 ESV
Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry.
Get Mark, and bring him with you
He is useful to me for ministry
Peter’s preaching in Rome and the writing of Mark’s gospel was a close connection
Possibly Peter’s Servant
Peter was martyred
Paul calls for Mark

2 Timothy 4:12 ESV
Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
Tich-icus
Sent out as missionary (again)
who takes this letter to Timothy
provide for Timothy’s absense to come to Paul (not to return until April, due to dangerous journey in winter)

When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, also the books, and above all the parchments.
Bring:
Cloak
Books
Parchments

2 Timothy 4:14–15 ESV
Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds. Beware of him yourself, for he strongly opposed our message.
Alexander, The coppersmith
Witness against Paul
The Lord will repay according to his deeds
Beward of him! He strong opposed our message.

2 Timothy 4:16 ESV
At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. May it not be charged against them!
All desserted me
May it not be charged against them!

2 Timothy 4:17 ESV
But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth.
Yet, the Lord stood by me & strengthened me
So that the message might be fully proclaimed and all Gentiles might hear it
So I was “rescued from the lions mouth”

2 Timothy 4:18 ESV
The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Now were back in Ephesus
They and Onesiphorus has “risked their neck” for Paul

Erastus remained at Corinth, and I left Trophimus, who was ill, at Miletus.

2 Timothy 4:21 ESV
Do your best to come before winter. Eubulus sends greetings to you, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brothers.
Eubulus, Pudens, Linus and Claudia and the other believers in Rome send you greetings
Roman Catholics, now teach that Linus established the linage of bishops after Peter’s death
Yet Paul has no special view of him (Claudia was his mum)

2 Timothy 4:22 ESV
The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
The Lord be with your spirirt - to stengthen you
Grace be with you
