2 Timothy 1:9-18 ▼

9 the One having saved us and having called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to His own purpose and grace, having been given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

10 and now having been made manifest through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, having indeed abolished death and having brought to light life and immortality through the gospel,

11 to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher.

12 Because of this reason I also suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that He is able to guard my deposit entrusted for that day.

13 Hold the pattern of sound words, which you heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

14 Guard the good deposit entrusted by the Holy Spirit, the One dwelling in us.

15 You know this, that all those in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

16 May the Lord give mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he refreshed me often, and he was not ashamed of my chain.

17 But being in Rome, he earnestly sought me and found me.

18 May the Lord give to him to find mercy from the Lord in that day! And you know very well how much he served in Ephesus.
