Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

Key for above GNTs: red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
4:10 Demas: See Col 4:14; Phlm 1:24.
• deserted: See also 2 Tim 4:16-17; cp. Ps 22:1; Mark 15:34.
• Loving the things of this life contrasts with the anticipation of Christ’s glorious return (2 Tim 4:8).
• Crescens is otherwise unknown; his and Titus’s absence seems to have heightened Paul’s isolation.
• Titus was Paul’s effective and reliable co-worker. Perhaps he had gone to Dalmatia (northwest of modern-day Greece) on a mission for Paul.

γάρ
for
Here the word for introduces a reason why Paul wants Timothy to come to him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for a command, or you could leave for untranslated. Alternate translation: [which I request because] or [since]
Note 2 topic: translate-names
Δημᾶς & Κρήσκης
Demas & Crescens
The words Demas and Crescens are names of men.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὸν νῦν αἰῶνα
the present age
Here the phrase the present age refers to the time period in which Paul and Timothy lived, the time period before Jesus comes back and God transforms everything. Here Paul implies that Demas loves what he can have and experience during this time period. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [what he has in the current time period] or [things that exist during this time before Jesus returns]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ἐπορεύθη
/was/_gone
In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of gone. Alternate translation: [has come]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
Κρήσκης εἰς Γαλατίαν, Τίτος εἰς Δαλματίαν
Crescens to Galatia Titus to Dalmatia
Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus has gone to Dalmatia]
Note 6 topic: translate-names
Δαλματίαν
Dalmatia
The word Dalmatia is the name of a Roman province on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea. This area is now part of the countries Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
