2 Timothy 4:13

11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is useful to me in the ministry.

12 Tychicus, however, I have sent to Ephesus.

When you come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, and my scrolls, especially the parchments.

14 Alexander the coppersmith did great harm to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

15 You too should beware of him, for he has vigorously opposed our message.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
