Onesiphorus

15 You know that almost all the believers in Asia region have turned against me. They include Phygelus and Hermogenes.[a]

16 But Onesiphorus has stayed to help me. I pray that the Lord will be kind to his family. He often came to help me not to be sad. I am in prison, but he was not ashamed to help me. 17 When he came here to Rome, he looked carefully for me until he found me. 18 I pray that the Lord will be kind to Onesiphorus on that great day when he judges people.[b] You know very well how much Onesiphorus helped me in Ephesus.
