- 2 Timothy 4:10 Demas had been with Paul during the latter’s first imprisonment in Rome (see Col 4:14; Philem 24). Crescens is mentioned only here in the New Testament. Galatia here means Gaul, according to the terminology used at that time by writers of Greek. Dalmatia is equivalent to present-day Albania and part of the former Yugoslavia; it is also called Illyricum in the New Testament (see Rom 15:19).
