2 TIMOTHY 4:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0

“For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.”

For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. — The painful roster: Demas's apostasy motivated by kosmou agapē (love of world) and philo-proxenia (desertion), while Crescens and Titus pursue apostolic assignments. Mixed fidelities mark the end time.
