7 The milchemet tzedek (war of righteousness) I have fought, the course I have finished, the emunah [Yd 1:3] I have been shomer over.
8 Henceforth, there is laid up for me the keter hatzedakah (crown of righteousness) which Adoneinu, the Shofet Tzedek, will give to me in HaYom HaHu, and not only to me, but also to all the ones who are ohavei Bi'as HaMoshiach.
9 Have zerizut (diligence) to come to me quickly.
10 For Demas deserted me. Having loved the Olam Hazeh, he departed for Thessalonica; Crescens, to Galatia; Titos, to Dalmatia.
11 Lukas alone is with me. Get Markos and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for avodas hakodesh.
12 Now Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.
13 When you come, bring the cloak which I left behind in Troas with Carpus, and the megillos, especially the parchments.
