Context of 2 Timothy 1:14

12For this reason I also am suffering these things—but I am not ashamed, for I know in whom I have trusted and I am convinced He is able to safeguard what I have entrusted to Him until that Day. 13Keep the standard of sound words you have heard from me, in the faithfulness and love that are in Messiah Yeshua. Guard the good that has been entrusted to you, through the Ruach ha-Kodesh who dwells in us. 15You are aware that everyone in Asia has turned away from me—including Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my imprisonment.
