Guard the Deposit Entrusted to You

3 ^fI thank God ^gwhom I serve, as did my ancestors, ^hwith a clear conscience, as I remember you ⁱconstantly in my prayers night and day. 4 ^jAs I remember your tears, ^kI long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. 5 I am reminded of ^lyour sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and ^myour mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. 6 For this reason I remind you ⁿto fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, 7 for God gave us ^oa spirit not of fear but ^pof power and love and self-control.

8 Therefore ^qdo not be ashamed of ^rthe testimony about our Lord, nor of ^sme his prisoner, but ^tshare in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, 9 ^uwho saved us and ^vcalled us to ^{▼▼Or with} a holy calling, ^xnot because of our works but because of ^yhis own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus ^zbefore the ages began, ^{▼▼Greek before times eternal} 10 and which now has ^abbeen manifested through ^acthe appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, ^adwho abolished death and ^aebrought life and ^afimmortality to light through the gospel, 11 ^agfor which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, 12 ^ahwhich is why I suffer as I do. But ^aiI am not ashamed, for ^ajI know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until ^akthat day ^alwhat has been entrusted to me. ^{▼▼Or what I have entrusted to him; Greek my deposit} 13 ^anFollow ^aothe pattern of ^apthe sound ^{▼▼Or healthy} words ^arthat you have heard from me, in ^asthe faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 14 By the Holy Spirit ^atwho dwells within us, guard ^authe good deposit entrusted to you.

15 You are aware that ^avall who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16 May the Lord grant mercy to ^awthe household of Onesiphorus, for he often ^axrefreshed me and was not ashamed of ^aymy chains, 17 but when he arrived in Rome ^azhe searched for me earnestly and found me— 18 may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on ^bathat day!—and you well know all the service he ^bbrendered at Ephesus.
