13 (A)Hold on to the (B)example of (C)sound words (D)which you have heard from me, in the (E)faith and love which are in (F)Christ Jesus. 14 Protect, through the Holy Spirit who (G)dwells in us, the [a](H)treasure which has been entrusted to you.

15 You are aware of the fact that all who are in [b](I)Asia (J)turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16 The Lord grant mercy to (K)the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and (L)was not ashamed of my [c](M)chains; 17 but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me— 18 the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on (N)that day—and you know very well what services he rendered at (O)Ephesus.

Be Strong

You therefore, my [d](P)son, (Q)be strong in the grace that is in (R)Christ Jesus. The things (S)which you have heard from me in the presence of (T)many witnesses, (U)entrust these to (V)faithful [e]people who will be (W)able to teach others also.
