12 I have sent Tychicus[a] to Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring along with you the cloak[b] that I left with Carpus in Troas, and also the scrolls, particularly the parchments.
14 Alexander the coppersmith[c] has done me a great deal of harm. The Lord will repay him for his deeds.

- 2 Timothy 4:12 Tychicus: a fellow worker of Paul (see Acts 20:3-5; Eph 6:21; Col 4:7).
- 2 Timothy 4:13 Cloak: probably a long-sleeved traveling garment that Paul could use to keep warm during his imprisonment. Carpus: possibly the Apostle’s host at Troas, but nothing is known for certain about him. Scrolls: undoubtedly some type of printed documents. Parchments: perhaps leather scrolls of Old Testament Books.
- 2 Timothy 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith: this seems to be the same Alexander mentioned in 1 Tim 1:20; he may have testified against Paul in court. The Lord will repay: citation from Pss 28:4; 62:13; and Prov 24:12.
