 [13 ](/kjv/2-timothy/1/13) Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/2-timothy/1/14) That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/2-timothy/1/15) This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/2-timothy/1/16) The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
 
 [17 ](/kjv/2-timothy/1/17) But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found *me*.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/2-timothy/1/18) The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
