2 Timothy 1:8-18 - Exhortation To Share Paul's Suffering

⁸ Therefore shouldest thou not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his imprisoned: but partake of afflictions with the good news according to the power of God;

⁹ Who having saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, given us in Christ Jesus before eternal times, ¹⁰ And now made manifest by the appearance of our Saviour Jesus Christ, having truly left death unemployed, and having brought life and immortality to light by the good news:

¹¹ To which I was set a herald, and sent, teacher of the nations. ¹² By which cause I also suffer these things: but I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that he is able to watch my deposits to that day.

¹³ Hold the model of sound words, which thou didst hear of me, in the faith and love which in Christ Jesus. ¹⁴ Watch the good deposit by the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. ¹⁵ Thou knowest this, that all they dwelling in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. ¹⁶ May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus; for many times he refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my perplexity: ¹⁷ But, being in Rome, he sought me very diligently, and found. ¹⁸ (May, the Lord give to him to find mercy of the Lord in that day:) and in how many things he served in Ephesus, thou knowest better.
