Faithfulness under Persecution

(Matthew 10:16–25)
3
I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as did my forefathers, as I constantly remember you night and day in my prayers.
4
Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.
5
I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am convinced is in you as well.
6
For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear,(a) but of power, love, and self-control.
8
So do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, or of me, His prisoner. Instead, join me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God.
9
He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began.(b)
10
And now He has revealed this grace through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the gospel,
11
to which I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.
12
For this reason, even though I suffer as I do, I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him (c) for that day.

Holding to Sound Teaching

13
Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching (d) you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
14
Guard the treasure entrusted to you,(e) with the help of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15
You know that everyone in the Province of Asia (f) 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 diligently 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.

Faithfulness under Persecution

(Matthew 10:16–25)
3
I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
4
longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5
having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6
For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7
For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
8
Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,
9
who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,
10
but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
11
For this I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12
For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

Holding to Sound Teaching

13
Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14
That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15
This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16
May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17
but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently and found me
18
(the Lord grant to him to find the Lords mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
