Therefore (A)do not be ashamed of the (B)testimony of our Lord or of me (C)His prisoner, but join with me in (D)suffering for the (E)gospel according to the power of God, who (F)saved us and (G)called us with a holy (H)calling, (I)not according to our works, but according to His own (J)purpose and grace, which was granted to us in (K)Christ Jesus from (L)all eternity, 10 but has (M)now been revealed by the (N)appearing of our Savior (O)Christ Jesus, who (P)abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 (Q)for which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things; but (R)I am not ashamed, for I know (S)whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to (T)protect what I have entrusted to Him [a]until (U)that day. 13 (V)Hold on to the (W)example of (X)sound words (Y)which you have heard from me, in the (Z)faith and love which are in (AA)Christ Jesus. 14 Protect, through the Holy Spirit who (AB)dwells in us, the [b](AC)treasure which has been entrusted to you.

15 You are aware of the fact that all who are in [c](AD)Asia (AE)turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16 The Lord grant mercy to (AF)the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and (AG)was not ashamed of my [d](AH)chains; 17 but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me— 18 the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on (AI)that day—and you know very well what services he rendered at (AJ)Ephesus.
