2 Timothy 1:15-18
New English Translation
15 You know that everyone in the province of Asia[a] deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16 May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my imprisonment.[b] 17 But when he arrived in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me. 18 May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day![c] And you know very well all the ways he served me in Ephesus.[d]
