16At my first apology no man stood by me, but all forsook me: (may it not be imputed to them!) 17but the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching might be fully discharged, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was snatched out of the lion’s mouth. 18And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and preserve me for his celestial kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

19Salute Priscilla and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus. 20Erastus hath abode at Corinth: but Trophimus I left behind me at Miletum sick.

21Hasten to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

22The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

The second epistle to Timothy, appointed the first bishop of the Ephesian church, was written from Rome, when the second time Paul stood before the Cæsar Nero.
