³³ partly while you were made ^(A)a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while ^(B)you became companions of those who were so treated;

⁹ For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a ^(A)spectacle ^[a]to the world, both to angels and to men.

¹⁴ For you, brethren, became imitators ^(A)of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For ^(B)you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans,

¹⁴ Nevertheless you have done well that ^(A)you shared in my distress.

¹³ Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing ^(A)His reproach.

³⁶ Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and ^(A)of chains and imprisonment.

²⁶ esteeming ^(A)the ^[a]reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures ^[b]in Egypt; for he looked to the ^(B)reward.

¹⁶ The Lord grant mercy to the ^(A)household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; ¹⁷ but when he arrived in Rome, he sought me out very zealously and found me. ¹⁸ The Lord ^(B)grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord ^(C)in that Day—and you know very well how many ways he ^(D)ministered ^[a]to me at Ephesus.

Not Ashamed of the Gospel

^8 (A)Therefore do not be ashamed of ^(B)the testimony of our Lord, nor of me ^(C)His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,

⁷ just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace.
