SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:9–18: Paul asked Timothy to come to him soon

This section contains a variety of specific instructions that Paul gave Timothy in the hope that Timothy would be able to come to Rome soon and spend some time with him.

4:9

Make every effort to come to me quickly,

¶ Timothy, try hard to come to me as soon as you can.

Make every effort to come to me quickly: Make every effort is an English phrase that translates one Greek verb. It means “to work/try hard” or “to put the most effort that you can into doing something.” This same verb occurs in 2:15a. Paul wanted Timothy to try to come from Ephesus to Rome as soon as possible, even if it was difficult for Timothy to do.

Paul then mentioned several reasons why he wanted Timothy to come to Rome soon:

Demas had deserted him (Paul) (4:10a);
Crescens and Titus each had traveled elsewhere to serve God (4:10b and 4:10c);
Luke was the only person that had remained in Rome to help Paul (4:11a).

uW Translation Notes:

σπούδασον ἐλθεῖν & ταχέως

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Σπούδασον ἐλθεῖν πρός μέ ταχέως)

Alternate translation: [Come to me as soon as you can]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλθεῖν

˓to˒_come

In a context such as this, your language might say “go” instead of come. Alternate translation: [to go]
