11. For this gospel I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher.
12. Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me until that day.
13. Hold to the standard of sound words that you heard from me and do so with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
14. Protect that good thing entrusted to you, through the Holy Spirit who lives within us.
15. You know that everyone in the province of Asia deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
