Paul further urges Timothy: Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: for Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica.” These words, dictated by Paul just prior to his death, were written by Luke [The substitution of the name of Mark for that of Luke in the first edition was an error of the printer, and not of the manuscript. A few similar errors have been discovered and corrected in this revision.] for our profit and warning. {4T 353.1} | |

Paulus fremhæver yderligere for Timotius: »Skynd dig snart at komme til mig; thi Demas forlod mig af kærlighed til den nuværende verden og rejste til Tessalonika.« Disse ord, som Paulus dikterede lige før sin død, blev skrevet ned af Lukas til vor gavn og advarsel. |
