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

Final Greetings

¹⁹ Greet ^(A)Prisca and Aquila, and ^(B)the household of Onesiphorus.

²⁰ Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. ^(A)Refresh my heart in Christ.

⁷ For I have derived much joy and ^(A)comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints ^(B)have been refreshed through you.

²⁰ for which I ^(A)am an ambassador ^(B)in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

²⁰ For this reason, therefore, I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is ^(A)because of ^(B)the hope of Israel that I am wearing ^(C)this ^(D)chain.”

³⁴ For ^(A)you had compassion on those in prison, and ^(B)you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had ^(C)a better possession and an abiding one.

¹⁰ For ^(A)God is not unjust so as to overlook ^(B)your work and the love that you have shown for his name in ^(C)serving the saints, as you still do.

¹⁸ may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on ^(A)that day!—and you well know all the service he ^(B)rendered at Ephesus.

⁸ Therefore ^(A)do not be ashamed of ^(B)the testimony about our Lord, nor of ^(C)me his prisoner, but ^(D)share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,
