²³ except that in every town the Holy Spirit warns me that chains and afflictions are waiting for me.^(A)

¹¹ He came to us, took Paul’s belt, tied his own feet and hands, and said, “This is what the Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him over to the Gentiles.’”^(A)

²⁰ For this I am an ambassador^(A) in chains. Pray that I might be bold enough to speak about it as I should.

¹⁶ May the Lord grant mercy^(A) to the household of Onesiphorus,^(B) because he often refreshed me^(C) and was not ashamed of my chains.^(D)

⁹ for which I suffer to the point of being bound like a criminal. But the word of God is not bound.
