55:004:008 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.
55:004:009 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
55:004:010 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved
this present world,
and
is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia,
Titus
unto
Dalmatia.
55:004:011 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and
bring him with thee: for
he
is profitable to me for the ministry.
55:004:012 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
55:004:013 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus,
when thou comest,
bring
with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.
55:004:014 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil:
the Lord reward
him
according to his works:
55:004:015 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath
greatly withstood our
words.
55:004:016 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.
55:004:017 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.
55:004:018 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.
55:004:019 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
55:004:020 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus
have I left at Miletum
sick.
55:004:021 Do thy diligence to come before winter.
Eubulus greeteth thee,
and
Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
55:004:022 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit.
Grace be with you.
Amen.
Book 56 Titus
56:001:001 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle
of Jesus Christ,
according
to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging
of
the truth which is after godliness;
56:001:002 In hope of eternal life, which God, that
cannot lie, promised
before
the world began;
56:001:003 But hath in due times manifested his word
through preaching,
which
is committed unto me according to the commandment of
God
our
Saviour;
56:001:004 To Titus, mine own son after the common
faith: Grace, mercy,
and
peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ
our
Saviour.
56:001:005 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that
thou shouldest set
in
order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders
in
every
city, as I had appointed thee:
