10. but now it has been revealed to us through the coming of our Saviour, Christ Jesus. He has ended the power of death and through the gospel has revealed immortal life.
11. God has appointed me as an apostle and teacher to proclaim the Good News,
12. and it is for this reason that I suffer these things. But I am still full of confidence, because I know whom I have trusted, and I am sure that he is able to keep safe until that Day what he has entrusted to me.
13. Hold firmly to the true words that I taught you, as the example for you to follow, and remain in the faith and love that are ours in union with Christ Jesus.
14. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, who lives in us, keep the good things that have been entrusted to you.
15. You know that everyone in the province of Asia, including Phygelus and Hermogenes, has deserted me.
16. May the Lord show mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, because he cheered me up many times. He was not ashamed that I am in prison,
17. but as soon as he arrived in Rome, he started looking for me until he found me.
18. May the Lord grant him his mercy on that Day! And you know very well how much he did for me in Ephesus.
