2 Timothy 1:8-18
8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about
our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the
gospel by the power of God, 9 who saved us and called us
to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of His own
purpose and grace, which He gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages
began, 10 and which now has been manifested through the
appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and
brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
11 for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and
teacher, 12 which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not
ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that
He is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me.
13 Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have
heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
14 By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the
good deposit entrusted to you.
15 You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away
from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16 May
the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often
refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains, 17 but
when he arrived in Rome he searched for me earnestly and found me—
18 may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on
that day!—and you well know all the service he rendered at
Ephesus.
