Bible Text: 

2 Timothy 1:13-18

¹³ Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. ¹⁴ By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.

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

2 Timothy 1:13-14

• What is the “good deposit entrusted to [me]” and what does it mean to guard it?
• How does “the Holy Spirit who dwells within us” help us to guard this good deposit?

2 Timothy 1:15-18

• 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?
