2 Timothy 1:15-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Paul’s Suffering. 15 [a](A)You know that everyone in Asia deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16 [b]May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus(B) because he often gave me new heart and was not ashamed of my chains.

Footnotes

  1. 1:15 Keen disappointment is expressed, here and later (2 Tm 4:16), that the Christians of the province of Asia, especially Phygelus and Hermogenes, should have abandoned the writer and done nothing to defend his case in court.
  2. 1:16–18 The family of Onesiphorus because he…of my chains: Onesiphorus seems to have died before this letter was written. His family is mentioned twice (here and in 2 Tm 4:19), though it was Onesiphorus himself who was helpful to Paul in prison and rendered much service to the community of Ephesus. Because the apostle complains of abandonment by all in Asia during his second imprisonment and trial, the assistance of Onesiphorus seems to have been given to Paul during his first Roman imprisonment (A.D. 61–63).
