2 Timothy 1:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ May the Lord show ·mercy [kindness] to the family of Onesiphorus [4:20; ^Cthe reference to the “family” rather than the man may indicate that Onesiphorus has since died], who has often ·helped [encouraged; refreshed] me and was not ashamed ·that I was in prison [^Lof my chains]. ¹⁷ When he came to Rome, he ·looked eagerly [searched diligently] for me until he found me. ¹⁸ May the Lord ·allow him to find [grant/give him] mercy from the Lord on that day [^Cthe final day of judgment and reward]. You know very well how many ways he ·helped [served] me in Ephesus [^Ca major port city in the Roman province of Asia, present-day western Turkey; Acts 19].
