16. The first time I defended myself, no one helped me; everyone left me. May they be forgiven.
17. But the Lord stayed with me and gave me strength so I could fully tell the Good News to all those who are not Jews. So I was saved from the lion’s mouth.
18. The Lord will save me when anyone tries to hurt me, and he will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. Glory forever and ever be the Lord’s. Amen.
19. Greet Priscilla and Aquila and the family of Onesiphorus.
20. Erastus stayed in Corinth, and I left Trophimus sick in Miletus.
21. Try as hard as you can to come to me before winter.Eubulus sends greetings to you. Also Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers and sisters in Christ greet you.
22. The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.
