The Key Word — φαιλόνης, phelonēs, phailonēsgenerated
The Greek word φαιλόνης (transliterated as phelonēs) refers to a cloak or outer garment, often used for warmth or protection. In this verse, it signifies a personal belonging that Paul left behind, highlighting his human needs.
This word appears only once in the New Testament, emphasizing its specific and personal nature in this context. Paul’s mention of the cloak suggests a practical concern for comfort as he awaits Timothy's visit.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) translates the verse with a focus on clarity, using cloak and scrolls, which aligns with the KJV and ASV that also emphasize these items. The translations generally agree on the meaning and context.
However, differences arise in the rendering of ἐρχόμενος. The BSB and others use when you come, while the YLT opts for coming, indicating a slight variation in how the action is framed.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in the verse is φέρε, do bring, which governs the request to Timothy. This verb is accompanied by a noun phrase that specifies what is to be brought: φαιλόνην and τὰ βιβλία.
The structure includes a participial phrase ἐρχόμενος, indicating the timing of the action. This construction reflects a common pattern in Greek where subordinate clauses provide additional context to the main action.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Greek term φαιλόνης does not have a direct correspondence in the Septuagint, but the concept of garments is prevalent throughout the Old Testament, often associated with identity and status.
The word βιβλία, meaning books or scrolls, is more commonly found in the Septuagint, where it refers to written documents or sacred texts, connecting Paul's request to the tradition of scriptural study.

To explain this seemingly strange request, some have wished to understand by “the cloke” some garment St. Paul was in the habit of wearing when performing certain sacred functions: in other words, as a vestment; but such a supposition would be in the highest degree precarious, for nowhere in the New Testament is the slightest hint given us that any such vestment was ever used in the primitive Christian Church.

The cloak that I left at Troas] τονφελονην is by several translated bag or portmanteau; and it is most likely that it was something of this kind, in which he might carry his clothes, books, and travelling necessaries. What the books were we cannot tell, it is most likely they were his own writings; and as to the parchments, they were probably the Jewish Scriptures and a copy of the Septuagint. These he must have had at hand at all times. The books and parchments now sent for could not be for the apostle's own use, as he was now on the eve of his martyrdom. He had probably intended to bequeath them to the faithful, that they might be preserved for the use of the Church.

The cloke] Vulg. ‘penulam.’ The oldest use of the word is traced back beyond the Latins nearly to the time of Alexander the Great, in a fragment of a Doric poet, Rhinthon (Julius Pollux Onomast. vii. 60). Hence the Latin must have adopted it from the Greek, not vice versa. The Roman paenula was a travelling cloak, long, and thick, and sleeveless, made generally of wool, sometimes of leather. Cf. Mart. xiv. 145 paenula gausapina, xiv. 13 paenula scortea. Dr Farrar suggests that ‘perhaps St Paul had woven it himself of that cilicium, the black goats’ hair of his native province, which it was his trade to make into tents.

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

Where a cell says a work has no entry, that work genuinely has none for this word.
The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word φαιλόνης (transliterated as phailonēs) refers to a type of cloak or mantle, likely a traveling garment for protection against the elements. Its usage in the New Testament is specifically noted in 2 Timothy 4:13. There is some debate among lexicographers about its exact meaning, with some suggesting it may refer to a book cover or case rather than just a garment.

Cloak
An upper garment, “an exterior tunic, wide and long, reaching to the ankles, but without sleeves” (Isa. 59:17). The word so rendered is elsewhere rendered “robe” or “mantle.” It was worn by the high priest under the ephod (Ex. 28:31), by kings and others of rank (1 Sam. 15:27; Job 1:20; 2:12), and by women (2 Sam. 13:18).
The word translated “cloke”, i.e., outer garment, in Matt. 5:40 is in its plural form used of garments in general (Matt. 17:2; 26:65). The cloak mentioned here and in

ὅς is a pronoun meaning 'who,' 'which,' 'what,' or 'that.' It serves as both a demonstrative and a relative pronoun, agreeing in gender with its antecedent. The New Testament uses it in various constructions, including phrases like ὃς μὲν... ὃς δέ to indicate contrasting subjects. Notably, it can express purpose or cause in certain contexts.

The Greek word ἀπολείπω (i.e., *apoleipo*) means to leave behind or forsake. It can refer to leaving something or someone in a physical sense, as well as to abandoning duties or responsibilities. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as 2 Timothy 4:13, 20, and Hebrews 4:6, 9. The entries indicate a technical use in legal contexts, particularly in wills.

A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

tro'-as (Troas): The chief city in the Northwest of Asia Minor, on the coast of Mysia in the Roman province of Asia. From here, according to Ac 16:8, Paul sailed. Here, also, according to Ac 20:5-12, Paul raised Eutychus from the dead. The name Troas was not confined to the town itself, but it was also applied to the surrounding district, or to that part of the coast which is now generally known as the Troad. In its early history it bore the name of Antigona Troas, which was given it by its founder Antigonus, but after 300 BC it was generally known to the classical writers as Alexander Troas, a name given to it by Lysimachus. For a time the Seleucid kings made their homes at Troas. Later, when the city became free, it struck its own coins, of which vast numbers are found; a common…
Troas
A city on the coast of Mysia, in the north-west of Asia Minor, named after ancient Troy, which was at some little distance from it (about 4 miles) to the north. Here Paul, on his second missionary journey, saw the vision of a “man of Macedonia,” who appeared to him, saying, “Come over, and help us” (Acts 16:8-11). He visited this place also on other occasions, and on one of these visits he left his cloak and some books there (2 Cor. 2:12; 2 Tim. 4:13). The ruins of Troas extend over many miles, the site being now mostly covered with a forest of oak trees. The modern name of the ruins is Eski Stamboul i.e., Old Constantinople.
the city from which St. Paul first sailed, in consequence of a divine intimation, to carry the gospel from Asia to Europe. (Acts 16:8,11) It is mentioned on other occasions. (Acts 20:5,6; 2 Corinthians 2:12,13; 2 Timothy 4:13) Its full name was Alexandria Troas (Liv. xxxv. 42), and sometimes it was called simply Alexandria sometimes simply Troas. It was first built by Antigonus under the name of Antigonea Troas, and peopled with the inhabitants of some neighboring cities. Afterward it was embellished by Lysimachus, and named Alexandria Troas. Its situation was on the coast of Mysia, opposite the southeast extremity of the island of Tenedos. Under the Romans it was one of the…
A maritime city of Mysia, in the northwest part of Asia Minor, situated on the Egean coast, at some distance south of the supposed site of ancient Troy. The adjacent region, including all the coast south of the Hellespont, is also called Troas, or the Troad. The city was a Macedonian and Roman colony of much promise, and was called Alexandria Troas. The Turks call its ruins Eski Stamboul, the old Constantinople. Its remains, in the center of a forest of oaks, are still grand and imposing. The apostle Paul was first at Troas for a short time in A. D. 52, and sailed thence into Macedonia, Ac 16:8-11. At his second visit, in A. D. 57, he labored with success, 2Co 2:12-13. At his third recorded visit he tarried but a week; at the close of which the miraculous raising of Eutychus to…

παρά is a preposition that conveys the idea of proximity, meaning 'beside' or 'from the side of.' It can take the genitive, dative, or accusative case, indicating source, location, or motion towards something. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts involving relationships, such as 'his family' (Mk 3:21) or 'from God' (Jn 9:16). The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its usage.

Κάρπος (Karpos) refers to 'Carpus,' a name likely associated with a Christian mentioned in 2 Timothy 4:13. The term is also used in a broader sense to mean 'fruit' or 'produce,' particularly in agricultural contexts, as seen in various New Testament passages. While some entries focus solely on the name, others expand on its metaphorical implications, such as the concept of spiritual fruitfulness.

kar'-pus (Karpos): A name but once mentioned in the New Testament (2Ti 4:13), "the cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus." These words were written from the dungeons, where Paul was confined during his second imprisonment. The name, common enough in Paul's day, signifies "fruit" (Young) or "wrist" (Davis). The words indicate that Paul must have been very well acquainted with the family of Carpus. He was presumably one of his converts; and the apostle must have lodged with him and also have had considerable confidence in him, since he committed to his care not only the comparatively valueless "cloak," but especially the priceless "books and parchments." It is idle to attempt to find out the identity of Carpus, but one cannot help wondering what were the contents of these books and parchments for which the apostle longed in his bitter…

The Greek word ἔρχομαι (i.e., *erchomai*) means 'to come' or 'to go.' It is used in various contexts, often indicating arrival or return, and can apply to both people and events. The New Testament frequently employs this term, notably in references to the coming of the Messiah (e.g., Mt 11:3). Lexicons note its use with various prepositions to indicate direction or purpose.

φέρω (phero) is a versatile Greek verb meaning to bear, carry, or bring. It can imply physical carrying, enduring, or producing something, and is used in various contexts throughout the New Testament, such as in Luke 23:26 and Hebrews 1:3. The word is built from roots suggesting motion and can also convey metaphorical meanings, like being influenced or prompted. Notably, lexicons differ on the nuances of its use in specific contexts.
On the distinction between these words Lobeck (Phrynichus, p. 585) has the following remarks: ‘ Inter φέρω et φορέω hoc interesse constat, quod iilud actionem simplicem et transitoriam, hoc autem actionis ejusdem continuationem significat ; verbi caus ἀγγελίην φέρειν, est alicujus rei nuncium afferre, Herod. iii. 53 et 122; v.143 ἀγγελίην φορέειν, ili. 34, nuncii munere apud aliquem fungi. Hine et φορεῖν dicimur ea que nobiscum circumferimus, quibus amicti indutique sumus, ut ἱμάτιον, τριβώνιον, δακτύλιον φορεῖν, tum que ad habitum corporis pertinent.’ He proceeds, however, to acknowledge that this distinction is by no means constantly observed even by the best Greek authors. It is, therefore, the more noticeable, as an example of that accuracy which so often takes us by surprise in the use of words by the writers of the N. T., that they are always true to this rule.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

βιβλίον is a diminutive form of βίβλος, meaning a paper, scroll, or written document. It covers a range of meanings from a simple letter to a book or roll, and is used in various New Testament contexts, including references to divorce documents (Mt 19:7) and sacred texts (Re 20:12). The word has also been associated with petitions and official documents in historical texts.
βιβλίον Wilcken shows that this latter word was the ordinary term for ‘‘petition” till the end of the third century: see 6. g. P Oxy VII. 10324 (A.D. 162) οὗ ἐπέδομεν Οὐολουσ[ίῳ Miatkiava τὼ ἡγεμονεύσαντι βιβλειδίου. . . ἀντίγραφον, ““copy of the petition which we presented to Volusius Maecianus, ex-praefect,” P Tebt 11. 2938 (c.

The Greek word μάλιστα (malista) is the neuter plural of the superlative form of the adverb μάλα (mala), meaning 'very.' It conveys the idea of 'most of all' or 'especially.' This term appears 12 times in the New Testament, often emphasizing importance or priority in various contexts. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement about its meaning.
μάλιστα, v.s. μάλα.
μάλιστα (superlative of the adv. μάλα), [fr. Hom. down], adv., especially, chiefly, most of all, above all: Acts xx. 88; xxv. 26; Gal. vi. 10; Phil. iv. 22; 1 Tim. iv. 10; v. 8,17; 2 Tim. iv. 13; Tit. i.10; Philem. 16; 2 Pet. li. 10; μάλιστα γνώστης, especially expert, thoroughly well-informed, Acts xxvi. 3.
μάλιστα, “most of all,” ‘‘especially,”’ which occurs 12 times in the NT, and is usually elative, may be illustrated by P Lille I. 26° (iii/B.c.) ἔγραψάς μοι περὶ τῆς els τὴν σησαμείαν γῆς, μάλιστα δὲ περὶ τῆς ἐν ΠΠΤατῶντι, P Goodsp Cairo 415 (mid. ii/B.C.)

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

parch'-ments (membranai, "membranes," "parchments," "vellum"): The skins, chiefly of sheep, lambs, goats and calves, prepared so as to be used for writing on (2Ti 4:13).
In Greek and Roman times parchment was much employed as a writing material. "At Rome, in the 1st century BC, and the 1st and 2d centuries AD, there is evidence of the use of vellum, but only for notebooks and for rough drafts or inferior copies of literary works. ....
