12. Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
13. [When] you come, bring the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, also the books, especially the parchments.
14. Alexander the coppersmith did me great wrongs. The Lord will pay him back for his actions.
15. Beware of him yourself, for he opposed and resisted our message very strongly and exceedingly.
16. At my first trial no one acted in my defense [as my advocate] or took my part or [even] stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them!
17. But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the [Gospel] message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was delivered out of the jaws of the lion.
18. [And indeed] the Lord will certainly deliver and draw me to Himself from every assault of evil. He will preserve and bring me safe unto His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen (so be it).
19. Give my greetings to Prisca and Aquila and to the household of Onesiphorus.
20. Erastus stayed on at Corinth, but Trophimus I left ill at Miletus.
21. Do hasten and try your best to come to me before winter. Eubulus wishes to be remembered to you, as do Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren.
22. The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace (God's favor and blessing) be with you. Amen (so be it).
