Holding to Sound Teaching

13 Hold on [to the] pattern of sound teaching[fn] you have heard from me, with [the] faith and love that [are] in Christ Jesus. 14 Guard the treasure entrusted [to you],[fn] with the help of [the] Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

15 You know that everyone in [the Province of] Asia[fn] has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.

16 {May} the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me and was unashamed of my chains. 17 Indeed, when he arrived in Rome, he searched very diligently[fn] [until] he found me.

18 {May} the Lord grant [Onesiphorus] [His] mercy on that day. You know very well how much he ministered [to me] in Ephesus.
