Bible Text

2 Timothy 1:15-18

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

Reflection & Application

  • Reflect on the words “all who are in Asia turned away from me.” Why might Apostle Paul have specifically named Phygelus and Hermogenes as being among those who abandoned him?

  • How was Onesiphorus able to refresh Apostle Paul?

  • In what ways can I refresh others who are in chains or suffering for the sake of the gospel?

  • Who are the people that are in need of such refreshing?
