## 2 Timothy 4:9-10 in Context (Verses 6–13 KJV)
 
 [6 ](/kjv/2-timothy/4/6) For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/2-timothy/4/7) I have fought a good fight, I have finished *my* course, I have kept the faith:
 
 [8 ](/kjv/2-timothy/4/8) 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.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/2-timothy/4/9) Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
 
 [10 ](/kjv/2-timothy/4/10) For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/2-timothy/4/11) Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/2-timothy/4/12) And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/2-timothy/4/13) The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring *with thee*, and the books, *but* especially the parchments.
 
[2 Timothy 3](/kjv/2-timothy/3) [Titus 1](/kjv/titus/1)
