Paul finishes his letter

12 I will send either Artemas or Tychicus to you.[a] After one of them has arrived, please come to meet me in Nicopolis. Come as quickly as you can. I have decided that I will stay in Nicopolis during the winter.[b]

13 Please help Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollos as much as you can.[c] Make sure that they have everything that they need for their journey. 14 Our Christian friends there must learn to do good things. They should supply things to people who need help. That will show that their lives are really useful.
