SCRIPTURE

"for Demas forsook me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia." — 2 Timothy 4:10 (ASV)

Forsook me (με εγκατελειπεν). Imperfect (MSS. also have aorist, εγκατελιπεν) active of the old double compound verb εγκαταλειπω, for which see Ro 9:29. Clearly in contrast to verse 9 and in the sense of 1 Timothy 6:17, wilful desertion. Only mentioned elsewhere in Col 4:14.

Crescens (Κρησκης). No other mention of him.

Titus to Dalmatia (Τιτος εις Δαλματιαν). Titus had been asked to rejoin Paul in Nicopolis where he was to winter, probably the winter previous to this one (Titus 3:12). He came and has been with Paul.
