Read in context

2 Timothy 4:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

15 You too should beware of him, for he has vigorously opposed our message.

16 At my first defense, no one stood with me, but everyone deserted me. May it not be charged against them.

17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed, and all the Gentiles would hear it. So I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.

18 And the Lord will rescue me from every evil action and bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom. To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, as well as the household of Onesiphorus.
