2 Timothy 1:15-2:2

New International Version

Examples of Disloyalty and Loyalty

¹⁵ You know that everyone in the province of Asia^(A) has deserted me,^(B) including Phygelus and Hermogenes.

¹⁶ May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus,^(C) because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed^(D) of my chains.^{(E) 17} On the contrary, when he was in Rome, he searched hard for me until he found me. ¹⁸ May the Lord grant that he will find mercy from the Lord on that day!^(F) You know very well in how many ways he helped me^(G) in Ephesus.^(H)

The Appeal Renewed

2 You then, my son,^(I) be strong^(J) in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. ² And the things you have heard me say^(K) in the presence of many witnesses^(L) entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.
