2 Timothy 1:11-18
English Standard Version
11 (A)for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, 12 (B)which is why I suffer as I do. But (C)I am not ashamed, for (D)I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until (E)that day (F)what has been entrusted to me.[a] 13 (G)Follow (H)the pattern of (I)the sound[b] words (J)that you have heard from me, in (K)the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 14 By the Holy Spirit (L)who dwells within us, guard (M)the good deposit entrusted to you.
15 You are aware that (N)all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16 May the Lord grant mercy to (O)the household of Onesiphorus, for he often (P)refreshed me and was not ashamed of (Q)my chains, 17 but when he arrived in Rome (R)he searched for me earnestly and found me— 18 may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on (S)that day!—and you well know all the service he (T)rendered at Ephesus.

New Living Translation
2 Timothy 1:11-18
New Living Translation
11 And God chose me to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of this Good News.
12 That is why I am suffering here in prison. But I am not ashamed of it, for I know the one in whom I trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him[a] until the day of his return.
13 Hold on to the pattern of wholesome teaching you learned from me—a pattern shaped by the faith and love that you have in Christ Jesus. 14 Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to you.
15 As you know, everyone from the province of Asia has deserted me—even Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 May the Lord show special kindness to Onesiphorus and all his family because he often visited and encouraged me. He was never ashamed of me because I was in chains. 17 When he came to Rome, he searched everywhere until he found me. 18 May the Lord show him special kindness on the day of Christ’s return. And you know very well how helpful he was in Ephesus.

11 And of this gospel(A) I was appointed(B) a herald and an apostle and a teacher.(C) 12 That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame,(D) because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard(E) what I have entrusted to him until that day.(F)
13 What you heard from me,(G) keep(H) as the pattern(I) of sound teaching,(J) with faith and love in Christ Jesus.(K) 14 Guard(L) the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.(M)
